What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over river, extant 1904. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed snecked rock faced rubble stone walls with cut-granite chamfered stringcourses supporting parapets having lichen-spotted cut-granite coping. Single segmental arch with margined rock faced granite ashlar voussoirs centred on margined rock faced cut-granite keystones. Sited spanning Bann River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one attributable to James Barry Farrell (1810-93), County Surveyor for County Wexford (appointed 1840; retired 1891; cf. 15701405), confirmed not only by the robust rock faced surface finish demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Bann River.
