What is recorded here
Limestone bridge and causeway, built c.1860, over inlet of sea, connecting Tawin Island to mainland. Rubble walls, battered to south-east, and parapet walls with vertical coping stones. Later single-span concrete bridge with concrete parapet walls. Rubble limestone V-cutwaters to north and south elevations.
This causeway is an interesting feature in the landscape, visible as it is from the approach roads. It connects Twain East to Mweeloon, and thence to the rest of the county. Prior to its construction Tawin Island would have been considerably more isolated. It is a notable example of nineteenth-century engineering.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
