What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1850, spanning Abhainn Tuairín Uí Chuanna [Tooreenacoona River], having segmental arch with roughly dressed voussoirs, coursed rubble walling and parapets, latter repaired in mass concrete,and splayed returns to ends.
This road bridge displays skilled local craftsmanship and well executed stonework. It is comparable to other bridges in the area with similarities evident in the splayed returns. It is an essential communication and transport link between the Maumturk and Twelve Pins Mountains, and provides a valuable insight into mid-nineteenth-century bridge building in rural Ireland.
