Single-arch railway bridge over stream, opened 1863. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed coursed or snecked rock faced granite walls with cut-granite chamfered stringcourses supporting replacement mild steel railings on cut-granite chamfered plinths. Single round or segmental arch with margined rock faced granite ashlar voussoirs centred on margined rock faced cut-granite keystones. Sited spanning stream with unkempt banks to stream.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford on account of the connections with the extension of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) line opened (1863) by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) Company with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the rock faced surface finish demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over a stream-like tributary of the River Slaney.
