What is recorded here
Bridge in Galbally presents a sharp stone V to a tributary of the River Aherlow, like a wedding guest arriving with a sword to cut the cake. It’s a small river. Nobody was expecting resistance.
Double-arch sandstone road bridge over a tributary of the River Aherlow, built c. 1850. Rubble stone walls with rubble cappings. V-cutwater to north elevation. Dressed voussoirs to elliptical-headed arches.
This bridge displays excellent craftsmanship, particularly in the construction of the voussoirs and cutwater.
