Money Bridge

Five-arch hump back bridge over river, extant 1838. Coursed rough cut limestone walls centred on tooled limestone ashlar triangular cutwaters having rendered pyramidal capping with hammered limestone rounded coping to parapets. Series of five round arches with tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Moyour River with unkempt grass banks to river.

A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of County Mayo with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the construction in rough cut limestone with "sparrow pecked" dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arches making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Moyour River: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
