What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone bridge, built c.1855, carrying disused Portadown to Cavan railway line over road. Round arch with rock-faced voussoirs and red brick soffit, curving sloping limestone wing walls and sloping buttresses to north-west and south-east elevations. Roughly-hewn limestone blocks built to courses. Chamfered cut-stone imposts to piers, with cut-stone string course above arch and to parapet and wing walls.
This well constructed bridge demonstrates good quality masonry typical of railway construction in the latter half of the nineteenth century. It is enlivened by the string courses and given an appearance of grandeur by the curving wing walls. It is part of a group of similar well-designed bridges.
