What is recorded here

Triple-arch humpback road bridge, built c.1780, spanning Delehinagh River. Rubble stone walls with dressed sandstone stringcourse and concrete capping to parapet. Segmental-arches having dressed stone voussoirs. V-cutwaters to west and east elevations.
This fine triple-arch bridge is a solidly constructed example of a eighteenth-century road bridge. It serves as a reminder of the quality of engineering and local craftsmen's skills at the time of its construction. It derives its name from Dripsey Castle located to the south-west.
