What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge over Duniry River, built c.1800. Rubble limestone walls and parapet walls with vertical rubble limestone copings to east parapet and curved render coping to west parapet. V-cutwaters to east elevation and recent rendered rectangular-profile cutwaters to west elevation. Round-headed arches with tooled limestone voussoirs and plinths.

This bridge is a testament to the masonry and engineering skills of the past. Its round arches, with their carefully cut and carved voussoirs and dressings, make this bridge a notable and pleasant feature in the landscape.
