What is recorded here
Triple-arch limestone road bridge over Funshion River, built c. 1780. Coursed rubble stone walls with curved rendered copings and peck-dressed plinth. Round arches with tooled limestone voussoirs and V-cutwaters. Angled stone copings to apporach walls having rectangular stone projections at regular intervals. Tooled stone plaque to east wall.
This road bridge is a testament to the skill and engineering skills of late eighteenth-century builders. The contrast of rubble limestone walls and peck-dressed plinth forms a pleasing aesthetic device, complemented by the contrasting coping styles.
