What is recorded here
Triple-arch road bridge over Owenbaun River, built c. 1810. Dressed limestone parapet walls. Dressed limestone voussoirs to round arches, with V-cutwaters to north elevation.
Lyon's Bridge is a well-designed structure, clearly constructed by skilled craftsmen. The round arches form a rhythmical silhouette in the landscape. The cutwaters add decorative interest to the north elevation, whilst dressed voussoirs set against rubble sandstone add textural interest to the bridge. The ashlar limestone walls are finely cut and placed together with a high degree of precision.
