What is recorded here

Four-arch bridge, built c.1820, carrying road over Owencarrow River, with cut-stone voussoirs forming segmental arches, and having triangular cut-waters flanking central arches. Coursed rubble walls and parapets with rendered field-stone copings. Flanked by rubble stone boundary wall to south. Now situated in Glenveagh National Park.
An impressive early nineteenth-century bridge that predates Glenveagh Castle. The cut-stone voussoirs contrast with the coursed rubble masonry to provide an appealing composition. The segmental arches retain their original form, a testament to the craftsmen who constructed them.
