What is recorded here

Double-arch bridge, built c.1760, carrying road over Ballycahalan River. Round arches with tooled voussoirs. Coursed dressed walls with plinth to piers. Rubble limestone parapet walls. V-cutwaters to upstream (east) elevation.
Tooled limestone work adds textural interest to this modest coursed rubble bridge. The structure is a testament to the skill of local craftsmen in the eighteenth century, with the V-cutwaters illustrating the tailoring of the structure to local river conditions.
