What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone road bridge over the River Greanagh, built in 1887, having overflow arch to south. Rusticated walls with rock-faced copings, cut stringcourse and rusticated voussoirs to segmental-headed arch. Inscribed limestone plaque to east parapet wall.
This solidly constructed road bridge was built in the late nineteenth century to replace an earlier structure by the Greanach Drainage Board. The inscribed plaque provides historical context and reads: 'Curragh Bridge Erected by the Greanach Drainage Board 1887 Waller Esq. D. L. Charman Engineer Barrington A. M. Contractor M. Walshe.' The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the late nineteenth century.
