What is recorded here

Single-span road bridge, built c.1820, supporting a slightly humped deck with curved approaches over low banks, altered c. 1990. Random coursed rubble stone walls, with slight battered, parapets of same construction with slight offset to walls below and rounded cement-mortar coping. Replacement span of concrete slab on random rubble stone abutments. Parapets merge with roadside boundary walls of rubble stone and rough stone cappings.
A stone bridge on an important connection to Belturbet from the north, spanning a small river which drains into the River Erne directly to the west. The bridge is highly visible from the higher ground of Barrack Hill, the approach from the south-west, and forms an important part of that streetscape. It belongs to a group of road bridges that from part of the civil engineering heritage of Belturbet.
