What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1860, over disused Athenry to Claremorris railway line. Symmetrical plan about north-south axis. Coursed squared and snecked rubble stone rising uninterrupted to parapets with splayed squared and snecked rubble stone flanking walls having round-headed coping stones to east and west. Segmental arch with cut-stone voussoirs to arch rings. Squared and snecked stone to spandrel panels with chamfered coping stones.

This unaltered railway bridge is a fine example of mid-nineteenth-century railway engineering. Built by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company to carry the Athenry to Claremorris line, it is no longer in use as a railway bridge since the closure of the line in 1975. Built of natural stone, this bridge has an attractive symmetry and its well detailed stonework is a testament to the skill of the craftsmen who built it.
