What is recorded here

Three-arch road bridge over stream, extant 1840. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (north) elevation on mass concrete battered plinths with rubble stone soldier course coping to parapets. Series of there segmental arches with lichen-spotted voussoirs. Sited spanning stream with unkempt banks to stream.
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford: meanwhile, a discreet benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
