What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1850, over stream. Comprising segmental arch with rusticated voussoirs and key stones and having gunnelled soffit. Lightly dressed rubble stone spandrels and parapets with rusticated blocks to copings and buttresses. Tarmacadam road surface to bridge.
This fine example of mid-nineteenth-century engineering demonstrates the variety of bridge construction to be found in Connemara. The varied treatments of the stone creates an aesthetically pleasing effect. The use of rusticated limestone for the voussoirs and copings contrasts with the local rubble stone elsewhere in the elevations.
