Located in the rural countryside to the south-east of Letterkenny.
This modest small-scale single-arch bridge, of mid-to-late nineteenth-century date, retains its original form and character, and is an appealing feature in the landscape to the south-east of Letterkenny. 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.
