What is recorded here

Single-arch hump back road bridge over river, extant 1838[?]. Tuck pointed rock faced limestone ashlar walls with dragged cut-limestone chamfered stringcourses supporting benchmark-inscribed parapets having rock faced cut-limestone coping. Single segmental arch with drag edged rock faced limestone ashlar voussoirs centred on drag edged rock faced cut-limestone keystones. Sited spanning canalised Westport or Carrowbeg River.

A bridge representing an important component of the civil engineering heritage of Westport with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the rock faced surface finish demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the canalised Westport or Carrowbeg River: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
