Why it mattered
Darragh Bridge matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The dressed sandstone walls and rusticated voussoirs of this bridge attest to high quality craftsmanship, whilst its solid form is of technical and civil engineering interest. The bridge forms a striking silhouette in the landscape and forms an integral part of the architectural heritage of the locality.
