What is recorded here

Four-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1820, with full-height cut stone cutwaters and voussoirs to round arch-rings. Concrete cutwaters added in twentieth century. Modern plaque in parapet.
This four-arch masonry bridge affords access to and from Drumahaire and as such it is a socially-important feature within the landscape. Constructed in stone, it is a fine example of a nineteenth-century bridge and is of architectural and technical significance. The modern plaque is dedicated to Derovorgilla, estranged wife of Tiernan O'Rourke and lover of Dermot MacMurrough.
