What is recorded here

Four-arch limestone road bridge over Farneybridge River, built c.1800. Rubble limestone walling and parapets, with round-arch openings with large dressed voussoirs. Bridge piers projects slightly forward of elevations. Coping stones missing from part of parapet, and elements of abutting walls repaired in concrete block.
This simple bridge, adjoining the entrance to Farney Castle demesne, adds character to the landscape. The name indicates a long history of this site as a crossing point, adding significance to the bridge. The nearby Farney Castle demesne bridge acts as a counterpoint to this bridge, and adds visual interest.
