What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1851, carrying minor road over the Galway to Dublin railway line. Rock-faced rusticated cut limestone abutments, dressed stone parapet walls.
The use of rock-faced limestone accentuates its imposing form and its construction is typical of mid-to late nineteenth-century railway engineering/architecture in Ireland. It was originally built by the Midland and Great Western Railway Company. A reminder of the engineering achievements of the great railway era.
