Single-arch masonry bridge, constructed c.1858, carrying the Shinrone Birr road over the disused Birr Roscrea railway line. Erected by the Roscrea and Parsonstown Railway Company. Rock-faced limestone parapets, piers and embankments and arch rings. Brick lined soffit to arch. Horizontal tooling to coping on parapet and on imposts. The sandstone rock-faced parapets are linked by a random coursed wall. Situated beside Sharavogue Bridge which carried the road over the Little Brosna River.
Although the railway line in no longer open, the bridge survives as a reminder of the work of the Roscrea and Parsonstown Railway Company. It is one of only two intact bridges built by that company that are still surviving. The other bridge is a lattice girder bridge in the townland of Ballylonnan and Glasderry More. There is a group association with the nearby road bridge.
