bridge

Single-arch limestone bridge, built c.1855, carrying disused Portadown to Cavan railway line over road. Depressed arch with rock-faced voussoirs and red brick soffit, curving sloping limestone wing walls to eastern end of south elevation and western end of north elevation and sloping buttresses to abutments on both north and south elevations. Roughly hewn limestone blocks built to courses. Chamfered cut-stone imposts, chamfered cut-stone string course above arch and to parapet, and cut-stone copings to wing walls.

This well constructed bridge demonstrates good quality masonry typical of railway construction in the latter half of the nineteenth century. It is given a sense of grandeur by its curving wing walls, though somewhat overgrown, and is enhanced by the cut-stone imposts and string courses. It is part of an impressive group of similar bridges.
