What is recorded here

Single-arch railway bridge over road, extant 1894; opened 1895. Closed, 1975. Now disused. Part tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone walls between tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone battered abutment walls with lichen-covered rock faced cut-limestone coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with vitrified blue brick header bond voussoirs. Sited spanning road with unkempt embankments to road.

A bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo on account of the connections with the development of the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line by the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company, the so-called "Burma Road" opened (1895) in response to Arthur James Balfour's Light Railways (Ireland) Act, 1889, with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the robust rock faced surface finish demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene.
