High Bridge

Double-arch sandstone road bridge over River Barranahown, built c. 1800. Roughly dressed coursed walls with rendered copings, curved parapet wall to south and recent metal railings to north parapet wall. Dressed voussoirs to segmental-headed arches. Dressed V-cutwater having rounded cap to south elevation.

The bridge is solidly constructed with roughly dressed sandstone walls. Textural interest is supplied by the dressed voussoirs, which contrast with the roughly dressed walls. The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the early nineteenth century.
