Single-arched bridge carrying road over small unnamed stream, built c. 1820. Segmental-headed arch with roughly dressed stone voussoirs; squared rubble stone construction to arch barrel. Rubble stone construction to spandrels and abutments. Rubble stone construction to parapets rendered coping over. Tarmacadam deck with grass verges. Located in the rural countryside to the south of Manorcunningham.
This modest single-arch bridge retains its early form and character, and is a feature of some rustic appeal in the rural landscape to the north-west of Raphoe. It is robustly-constructed in local rubble stone masonry, and its continued survival and use stands as testament to the quality of its original construction, and of the skill of the masons involved. It was probably originally constructed during the first decades of the nineteenth century, a period that saw a great deal of road and bridge-building in Ireland, particularly by the Grand Juries (the forerunners of the County Councils). This unassuming rustic bridge is an addition to both the built heritage of the local area and to the extensive transport heritage of County Donegal.
