What is recorded here

Single-arch stone bridge, built c.1875, carrying Old Cabra Road over former Great Southern and Western Railway line. Rock-faced limestone abutments, with rusticated limestone piers with dressed granite coping. Rusticated limestone and replacement concrete parapet walling with dressed limestone string courses and dressed granite copings. Dressed limestone voussoirs to arch.
A well-built stone road bridge constructed by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. This bridge retains its rock-faced limestone and dressed granite construction materials which provide visual interest to the otherwise functional structure. This branch line was constructed to connect the company’s terminus at Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station) with Amiens Street (now Connolly Station) and their goods station at North Wall. The branch line, which was constructed between 1872 and 1877, includes a number of stone bridges, the Phoenix Park Tunnel and the Liffey Viaduct.
