What is recorded here
Single-arched rusticated limestone railway bridge having elliptical arch, built 1849, carrying road over Cork-Dublin railroad. Rock-faced rusticated walls and piers. Cut stone string courses and copings to parapet walls. Segmental arch with ashlar soffit.
The simple form of this bridge is typical of several railway bridges on this railway line. It shows evidence of highly skilled craftsmanship in its stonemasonry - rustication to piers finished with straight edge to corners, rusticated voussoirs are given recessed edge, enhancing and emphasising formal properties of structure. The massive piers and heavy rustication give an impression of strength. Built by Great Southern and Western Railway.
