What is recorded here

Single-arch rubble sandstone railway bridge over road, opened 1878. Decommissioned, 1982. Broken coursed rock-faced squared rubble sandstone walls with random rubble sandstone parapets having rock-faced squared rubble sandstone coping. Single shallow segmental arch with squared rubble sandstone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning road.
A well-composed bridge forming an attractive feature in the locality, the construction in rubble sandstone assimilating well into the surrounding landscape. The bridge is of particular importance as a reminder of the development of the railway network in County Waterford, in this instance by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours Company as part of the Great Southern Railway line. Now long disused, the bridge remains an important artefact of the civil engineering heritage of the county.
