What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone bridge, built c. 1800, over the River Dead. Random rubble walls with render copings to parapet walls. Dressed voussoirs to round-headed arches. Cut stone V-shaped cutwaters to east elevation.
This is a solidly built road bridge, with a strong, rhythmical profile. The dressed stone voussoirs and cut V-shaped cutwaters are indicative of the skill of early nineteenth-century craftsmanship.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
