Seven-arch cut-stone road bridge over river, built 1858, incorporating fabric of earlier bridge, 1774 - 1779. Broken coursed cut-limestone walls with rock-faced cut-limestone piers having rounded cut-waters, cut-stone pedimented piers to south having round-headed recessed niches with cut-stone plaques over, cut-stone stringcourses, and broken coursed squared tooled limestone parapets having cut-stone coping supporting decorative iron lamp standards. Series of seven round arches with cut-limestone voussoirs, and squared limestone soffits having traces of render over. Sited spanning River Blackwater with grass banks to river.
An elegantly-proportioned and Classically-detailed bridge, sponsored by the Duke of Devonshire (n. d.), and built by C.H. Hunt (n. d.) and E.P. Nagle (n. d.) to designs prepared by Charles Tarrant (1815 - 1877), County Surveyor of Waterford, replacing an earlier bridge on site. The construction in squared and cut-limestone produces a pleasing visual effect, and attests to high quality stone masonry. The civil engineering heritage significance of the composition if indicated by a series of elegant arches, which have retained their original profile.
