Marshalstown Bridge

Four-arch road limestone bridge over Funshion River, built c. 1780. Coursed rubble stone walls with curved rendered copings. Round arches with tooled limestone voussoirs, having stepped V-cutwaters to upstream elevation. Angled stone copings to approaching road walls having rectangular stone projections at regular intervals. Plaque to east wall. Steps down to river at north-east.

This road bridge is a testament to the masonry and engineering skills of local craftsman in the late eighteenth century. The use of rubble limestone walls and tooled voussoirs and cutwaters creates a pleasing visual contrast, complemented by the contrasting coping styles of bridge and lead-up walls. The bridge forms one in a group of similar structures along this river.
