What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge, built c.1860, spanning Argideen River. Segmental-headed arches having roughly dressed limestone voussoirs and soffits, springing from dressed limestone piers with V-cutwaters. Rubble limestone spandrels and parapet walls with dressed limestone string course and rubble limestone solider copings to parapets. Concrete block courses added to heighten southern parapet.
This fine bridge, with its wide arches, is well designed and the finely executed arches are evidence of the skill of the stonemasons and stonecutters involved in its construction. The neatly cut voussoirs provide contrast to the rubble stone walls.
