Single-arch road bridge, built c. 1880, carrying road from Knockbridge to Forkhill over former Great Northern Railway. Snecked limestone walling, ashlar limestone string course and coping to parapet, rendered parapet to east. Segmental-arch, rock-faced voussoirs, ashlar limestone impost to arch. Red brick vaulting. Squared-and-snecked limestone sloping revetments to east and west terminating in square-profile pillars.
Killycroney Bridge is one of a number of bridges built in conjunction with the Great Northern Railway line which opened in 1881. Similar style to Tullagee Bridge located directly to the west, the revetments and red brick vaulting are of technical interest. The railway and its associated structures attest to Victorian engineering ingenuity and is a valuable feature within the social and historic landscape of Ireland.
