What is recorded here
Single-arch road bridge over river, built 1844. Creeper- or ivy-covered coursed rubble stone walls between creeper- or ivy-covered coursed rubble stone piers with overgrown coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with lichen-spotted granite ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Ballyedmond River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge erected to a design by James Barry Farrell (1810-93), County Surveyor for County Wexford (appointed 1840; retired 1891; Institute of Civil Engineers 1893, 345), representing an important component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the silver-grey granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the minor Ballyedmond River.
