What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge over river, built c.1830. Round arches with cut-stone voussoirs and squared stone soffits. Squared limestone parapet walls with rubble stone copings. V-cutwaters to east elevation. Corn mill immediately to south, Drumleek flax mill to east.
The double-arch bridge spans a river flowing by Drumleek flax mill, to the east to Muckno Lough Lower to the south. The well-executed stone bridge is a picturesque landmark on the river, employing local materials in its construction, with cut limestone to the voussoirs, soffits, spandrels, parapet wall and buttresses. That the bridge remains in use in its present form is testament to the quality of its construction. The setting is enhanced by the presence of a former corn mill to the south-west and former Drumleek flax mill to the east which add historical context and highlight the local importance of the route way served by the bridge.
