What is recorded here
Three-arch humpbacked road bridge over the Glendasan River, built c.1805 The bridge is built in rubble with rough coping to the parapet, but is now largely covered in ivy growth. The three arches are elliptical-headed with that to the centre largest, all have roughly dressed voussoirs and the piers have cutwaters.
This early 19th-century road bridge was probably built as part of the military road that cut through the centre of the County in the wake of the 1798 rebellion, and as such is of some importance; it has been little altered over the years.
