Historic building

Single-arch rubble limestone railway bridge over road, built 1878. Decommissioned, 1967. Now disused. Broken coursed rock-faced squared rubble limestone walls (including abutment walls) with rock-faced cut-limestone coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with rock-faced cut-limestone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning road.

An elegantly-composed bridge forming an attractive feature in the landscape. The construction in rock-faced limestone produces an appealing textured visual effect, attesting to high quality stone masonry, while the construction of the arch, which has retained its original profile, identifies the civil engineering heritage importance of the composition. The bridge is of particular importance as a reminder of the introduction of the railway network to County Waterford by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours Company in the late nineteenth century.
