Deenagh Bridge

A NW-SE road bridge spanning the Deenagh River. Built of random rubble. Four arches, the two closest to the NW bank of the river are almost semicircular (span c. 3m) with roughly shaped voussoirs while the other two are segmental (span c. 5.3m) with shaped rusticated voussoirs. The north-westernmost arch is dry. Three low pointed cutwaters on the upstream side of the piers (Wth 1.15m). The bridge has recently been extended on the downstream side and the arches and the river-bed have been reinforced using concrete; some stone paving is still visible on the river-bed.
