Single-arch road bridge over stream, extant 1840. Part creeper- or ivy-covered coursed rubble stone walls between coursed rubble stone piers with moss-covered cut-granite stringcourses supporting parapets having rubble stone soldier course coping. Single segmental arch with margined tooled granite ashlar voussoirs centred on margined tooled cut-granite keystones. Sited spanning stream with unkempt banks to stream.
A bridge representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one recalling the contemporary "Ashton Bridge" (see 15701140), suggested not only by the "sparrow pecked" 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 a stream-like tributary of the River Slaney.
