Single-arch masonry railway bridge, built c.1863, carrying a minor road over the Ballybrophy Limerick railway line. Erected by the Great Southern and Western Railway. Roughly dressed sandstone blocks randomly laid with rusticated quoins to abutments. Segmental profile arch with rusticated voussoirs. Finely dressed string courses and parapets with dressed coping stones.
This bridge is one of four such bridges built by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company on this line within County Offaly. This technically appealing railway bridge combines a variety of stone finishes. It is of importance within the railway architecture heritage of the county.
