What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1850, spanning tributary of An Mhoing Bhuí [Muingboy]. Segmental arch with roughly dressed voussoirs and coursed snecked rubble walls and coursed rubble soffit. Rubble stone parapets, copings and end piers. Return walls to ends of bridge.
This is a good example of modest mid-nineteenth-century engineering that forms a vital transport and communication link between the Maumturk and Twelve Pin Mountains. It is aesthetically pleasing and retains its original quality, a testament to the skilled local craftsmanship. The snecked limestone block construction gives the bridge increased strength which is essential as the river is susceptible to flooding.
