What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone road bridge over Gradoge River, built c. 1800, of random rubble stone, having tooled cut limestone voussoirs to segmental arches and dressed limestone copings to parapet walls. Cut limestone V-cutwaters to south elevation.
The simple elegant form of this road bridge is much enhanced by the contrast between random rubble limestone walls and finely executed cut limestone voussoirs, which adds textural interest to the structure. Spanning a relatively narrow river, this bridge is a reminder of the pride and craftsmanship employed in such endeavours in the early nineteenth century.
