What is recorded here
Three-arch bridge, built c.1780, carrying road over river. Round arches and V-cutwaters to west elevation. Rubble stone walls, dressed stone voussoirs and soffits, and rubble coping stones. Partly rendered to east elevation. Now bypassed by recent bridge.
Castletown Bridge is a good example of a multi-arched rural stone bridge and a notable landmark in the area. It has aesthetic appeal, exhibits good rubble stone masonry and the construction of the arches is of technical and engineering merit. The recent bypass bridge, however, exhibits none of these qualities.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
