What is recorded here

Single-arch masonry road bridge, rebuilt c.1849, over the River Boyne at the county boundary between Counties Meath and Offaly. Rock-faced limestone spandrels laid to courses. Square-profile rock-faced limestone terminating piers. Limestone parapet and continuous string course extending to terminal piers. Segmental profile arch with rusticated voussoirs.
Located north of Edenderry, this bridge is a busy and important crossing point on the River Boyne, the county boarder between Counties Offaly and Meath. It was erected on the site of an earlier eighteenth-/early nineteenth-century bridge that was replaced by the Board of Works during the Boyne drainage scheme. The use rock-faced limestone imparts an impression of solidity and stability underlying its architectural merit.
