What is recorded here

Single-span former railway bridge, built c.1880, now disused, over Glashanasmearany River. Limestone block abutments having recessed splayed rubble limestone flanking walls retaining earth and stone embankment, with roughly dressed limestone copings to abutments. Riveted iron girder bridge with wrought-iron rail tracks having concrete spacing blocks.

The construction of this bridge, through the use of iron girders and high quality masonry to the abutments, displays substantial technical and engineering merit. Built by the Midland Great Western Railway, this bridge was part of the Galway to Clifden branch line and is a reminder of the engineering achievements accomplished during the late nineteenth century.
