What is recorded here
Triple-arch road bridge over Farneybridge River, within Farney Castle demesne, built c.1860. Rendered walls with rendered dressed limestone voussoirs and dressed stone piers, with U-shaped cut-waters to north elevation with domed caps. Piers carried upwards projecting slightly from elevations of bridge and have moulded and stepped caps topped with urns. Wrought-iron railings to sides of carriageway and benchmark to north parapet.
A simple and elegant nineteenth-century bridge which is historically significant as part of the demesne of Farney Castle. The nearby Farney Bridge, which can be approached from the river, acts as a counterpoint to the demesne bridge, and adds visual interest.
