What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge over river, built c.1776. Rubble stone walls, with ashlar limestone parapets, copings and string courses. Triangular cutwaters to upstream and downstream elevations.
This fine bridge, designed by Thomas Cooley, is of apparent architectural design and detailing. The ashlar masonry was clearly executed by skilled masons and articulates the form of the bridge. The bridge forms part of an interesting group of demesne related structures with Headfort House, outbuildings, gate lodges, stables and demesne walls. Plaque on bridge reads: 'New bridge erected in 1776 architect Thomas Cooley'.
