What is recorded here

Single-arch railway bridge, built c.1860, carrying Portadown and Cavan Branch of Ulster Railways across road. Spanning structure removed. Rock-faced rusticated sandstone abutment walls having margined quoins, flanked by splayed random rock-faced wing walls which terminate in projecting piers, with dressed limestone copings, broken and absent in places.

This bridge is an important reminder of the industrial heritage of this area. The service provided by the Portadown and Cavan Branch to this area represented the economic prominence of the locality, as well as the wider growth in communication networks throughout the country in the nineteenth century. Although it has been altered through the loss of its bridge proper, the stonework in the bridge is testament to the skill and craftsmanship of stone-workers and engineers at the time of its construction, and it constitutes an interesting landmark and focal point along the road.
