Little Bridge

Five-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, begun 1847. Random rubble limestone walls with lime mortar, triangular cut-waters, and cut-stone coping to parapets. Series of five segmental arches with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having remains of lime render over. Sited spanning Glenshelane River with grass banks to river.

A well-proportioned bridge forming an appealing landmark on the approach into Cappoquin from the south. The construction in rubble limestone serves to assimilate the bridge attractively into the surrounding landscape. The construction of the arches, which have retained their original profile, identifies the civil engineering significance of the composition.
