What is recorded here
Situated in level wet pasture spanning the S-N flowing Ballymeeny River. Stone bridge (L 7.4m; max. H at centre 1.90m) constructed of roughly quarried limestone blocks bonded with a gravelly limestone mortar. The bridge is supported by three slightly pointed arches evenly spaced across the length of the bridge with the central arch being slightly wider and higher (H 1.5m; Wth 1.45m) while each side arch is smaller (H 1.3m; Wth 1.25m). The arch voussoirs and the key stones are undressed and undifferentiated from the rest of the fabric. The columns (L 1.25m i.e. parallel to water flow; Wth1.15m) on the S side have triangular breakwaters, now partly ruined, of similar fabric to the rest of the bridge. The top of the bridge measures only 1m in width so it is unlikely that walling ever existed.
