What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone road bridge over Clogharevaun River, built c.1780, with arch rebuilt c.1890. Coursed rock-faced rusticated walls to segmental arch, with similar voussoirs and limestone copings. Rubble walls to causeway to east with rubble copings, having round-headed relieving arch to wall, and overflow arches with cut-stone voussoirs.
This bridge is notable for its rock-faced copings and voussoirs which add textural variation juxtaposed against the earlier rubble walls. The earliest Ordnance Survey map shows a wider river channel, a more meandering route, and large areas liable to floods. Subsequent drainage schemes, presumably linked to the Attymon Junction to Loughrea light railway, altered the course of the river. It forms a technically interesting structure over the Clogharevaun River and can been viewed at a distance from the eastern approach, adding visual interest to the landscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
