Random rubble stone walling and parapets, latter with rock-faced copings with margins, and with concrete cutwater to north elevation.

Double-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1780, over Rockcorry River. Random rubble stone walling and parapets, latter with rock-faced copings with margins, and with concrete cutwater to north elevation. Slender stone voussoirs to arches to north elevation, and roughly dressed stone voussoirs to south elevation.

It appears to have been widened since its original construction as the voussoirs of each side of the bridge are distinctly different. Forming an attractive group of structures with the adjacent Rockcorry Mill, the bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and craftsmen's skills in late eighteenth-century Rockcorry.
