What is recorded here
Two-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1780, over River Carheeny. Rubble walls, piers, abutments and parapets, and dressed voussoirs to round arches, with dressed stone V-cutwater to north elevation. Gateway at west end to Cregg House, comprising square-plan rubble piers with redent metal double-leaf gate.
This is one a series of three neighbouring bridges over the River Carheeny. It serves as a secondary approach to Cregg House and its pair of round arches are a landmark on the Ennis to Galway road, just south of Gort. The variety of stonework adds interest and the wooded setting enhances the site.
