What is recorded here
Single-arch hump back road bridge over railway line, opened 1882. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone walls between tuck pointed snecked rock faced battered abutment walls with lichen-spotted rock faced cut-limestone coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with drag edged rock faced limestone ashlar voussoirs centred on drag edged rock faced cut-limestone keystones. Sited spanning railway line with unkempt embankments to railway line.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the later nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford on account of the connections with the extension of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) line opened (1882) by the Wicklow and Wexford Railway (WWR) Company with the architectural value of the composition suggested 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 railway line.
