What is recorded here

Single-arch rubble limestone road bridge over railway, opened 1878. Broken coursed rock-faced squared rubble limestone walls with cut-stone stringcourse, and cut-stone coping to parapets. Single segmental arch with rock-faced squared limestone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning railway line with grass banks to railway.
An elegantly-composed bridge forming an integral part of the railway heritage of County Waterford, having been built as part of the Fishguard and Rosslare Harbours and Railways Company development of the Great Southern Railway line. The construction in rock-faced stone work produces an appealing textured visual effect, while the arch, which has retained its original profile, identifies the civil engineering heritage importance of the composition.
