What is recorded here

Single-arched humpback road bridge, built c. 1800, over the River Crompaun or Meelick Creek. Rubble limestone and sandstone walls. Extended to north elevation. Red brick voussoirs to round-headed arch.

This solidly built road bridge is indicative of the skill of early nineteenth-century craftsmen. The bridge forms a pleasing silhouette in the landscape.
