Segmental profile arch with dressed limestone voussoirs. Squared random rubble walls. V-shaped cutwaters. Dressed limestone string course.
Derrinsallow Bridge is associated with a derelict mill downstream. The well proprtioned, wide and shallow segmental arches are typical of mid nineteenth-century Grand Jury presentment bridges. It is similar to Oxmantown Bridge in Birr. Uniting counties Offaly and Tipperary, Derrinsallow Bridge is an important crossing point.
