What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone road bridge over River Owenaglanna, built c.1770. Snecked dressed walls and parapets, having tooled copings. Round arch with tooled voussoirs. Battered snecked dressed walls to raised causeway approach road, having lighter-coloured limestone and vertical rubble coping stones.
This road bridge forms a pleasing eyecatcher, being easily visible from the higher slopes of the valley to the north and south. Its simple, unadorned façade highlights the skill of the road builders who constructed the associated raised causeway with its batter, illustrating the tailoring of road and bridge to fit within a challenging landscape. It marks the boundary between three townlands.
