What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge spanning River Owenga, built c.1810. Snecked limestone construction comprising elliptical arch, gunnelled to soffit and interior of abutments, with dressed limestone voussoirs and rubble limestone parapet with rendered coping. Recent repairs to parapet and abutments.
This road bridge, though simple in design, is an excellent demonstration of the quality of nineteenth-century workmanship and engineering. The well worked voussoirs, tooled limestone blocks and snecked finish enhance the appearance of the bridge, a vital component in the communications network between Clifden and Letterfrack.
