What is recorded here

Single-arch masonry road bridge, erected in 1852, carrying the Killyon to Clareen road over the River Camcor. Dressed limestone abutments with rusticated quoins. Skew arch of segmental profile. Arch-ring of rusticated blocks. Dressed limestone spandrel, laid to courses, and rusticated coping.
This single-arch bridge was constructed, like many in the surrounding area, when the Board of Works undertook a drainage scheme of the marshlands that once dominated the district. The rusticated stonework is a notable feature of the structure particularly at the parapet level where the large coping stones are a prominent element. It is the fourth widest masonry arch span in the county.
