Clonmany Bridge matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This appealing and particularly elegant triple-arch bridge retains its early character and form, despite some modern modifications, and is an appealing feature in the scenic rural landscape to the west of Clonmany. It is robustly-constructed in local rubble stone masonry, and its continued survival and use stands as testament to the quality of its original construction, and of the skill of the masons involved. The unrefined rubble stone construction creates rather a picturesque and rustic appearance, while the three graceful arches, rubble stone cutwaters, and the crenellated parapet all add to its appeal. This… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
