What is recorded here

Gowlagh Bridge in Curraghafoil saves its substantial stone arch for anyone who looks below the road. It’s like discovering the quiet fellow beside you has a magnificent singing voice, but will only perform if the audience stands in a stream.

0 / 600

Single-arch road bridge over tributary of the River Bilboa, built c. 1800. Random rubble walls with cut limestone voussoirs to round-headed arch. Cast-iron patris plate to north elevation.
The unassuming view of this bridge from road level belies the substantial structure below. Its masonry is solidly built and apart from the cast-iron patris plate visible on north elevation indicating restoration works at some point, it is a good example of the quality of workmanship of the nineteenth century.
