What is recorded here

Double-span limestone bridge, built 1869, carrying Ennis-Athenry railway over road and stream. Comprising snecked rock-faced rusticated stone abutments to north and south, with concrete and steel girder span over road, and round arch over stream with rock-faced rusticated walls and voussoirs, with low parapets over stream. Rusticated voussoirs with tooled margins to arch. Rusticated stone copings to parapets and abutment walls.
This is an unusual yet highly practical railway bridge, designed to accommodate both the road and stream under it but retaining an imposing and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The bridge is in good condition, retaining its tooled limestone copings.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
