What is recorded here

Single-arch rubble stone skewed railway bridge over road, built 1853. Decommissioned, 1961. Now disused. Random rubble stone walls with rubble stone parapet having rubble stone vertical coping. Single segmental arch with rock-faced squared limestone voussoirs, and red brick Running bond (diagonal) voussoirs. Sited spanning road.
A well-composed bridge forming an attractive feature in the landscape, the rubble stone construction with cut-limestone dressings producing a textured visual effect. Of civil engineering interest on account of the construction of the arch, which has retained its original profile, the bridge is of additional significance for its associations with the development of the Waterford and Tramore Railway line in the mid nineteenth century.
