What is recorded here

Single-arch humpback road bridge over the Aughnaglanny River, erected c. 1845. Rubble limestone walls and parapet having roughly-dressed limestone string course. Margined roughly-dressed limestone voussoirs to wide segmental arch. Limestone plaque to north-west parapet, and recent plaque to south-east.
The visual appeal of this bridge is enhanced by the use of mixed rubble and dressed limestone in its construction. Built in the mid-nineteenth century, the single very wide arch over represents a feat of engineering for its time. The blocking of the bridge to obstruct the movements of the Black and Tans and its association with Galloping Hogan add historic significance to this structure.
