Three-arch humpback road bridge over Glashagh River, built c. 1860. Elliptical-headed arches with dressed squared stone voussoirs, cement rendered soffit, V-shaped squared rubble stone cutwaters with rubble stone cap, semi-circular rubble stone pier with domed rubble stone cap to abutments. Concrete underpinning. Random rubble stone spandrels and parapets, stepped parapet walls to south and north ends to bridge; soldier coursed squared rubble stone coping to parapets with some concrete repairs.
