What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over stream, extant 1840. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls with lichen-covered hammered limestone rounded coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning stream with unkempt banks to stream.
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the sheer limestone dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over a minor stream.
