What is recorded here

Triple-arch sandstone footbridge to north-east of Newberry House, built c. 1750, over stream and leading from house to Church of Ireland church. Comprises three differently sized segmental arches having rubble stone voussoirs and stone piers encased in concrete having V-cutwaters. Coursed rubble stone walking surface.
This is a rare surviving example of a packhorse bridge, too narrow for the passage of wheeled vehicles. The different shapes and widths of the arches indicate a bridge of some antiquity. Its former function as a crossing point over the stream for the inhabitants of Newberry House is an interesting feature of the small demesne.
