What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built c.1850, over stream. Roughly-hewn limestone blocks built to courses. Round arch with rock-faced voussoirs and dressed soffit. Sloping limestone buttresses to both elevations.

This railway bridge, now standing in farmland, has stood the test of time, being well built of good limestone. It forms part of the now disused Dundalk to Derry railway line.
