What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone block road bridge, built c.1820, over Owenwee River. Comprising tall segmental arch with rubble stone voussoirs, imposts and soffit. Bridge elevations have lightly dressed stone block elevations and flanking buttresses, with lightly dressed string course above arch. Rubble stone parapet having curved terminals. Battered rubble stone abutments having stepped profiles.

This structure is one of a group of distinctive stone bridges in this part of Connemara having a tall, narrow arch and abutments with stepped profiles. Its well crafted construction has resulted in its good state of preservation. The bridge is further enhanced by the contrasts between the stonework of the parapets, the arch and the abutments.
