OConnell Br.

Bridge

What is recorded here

A road bridge (Wth 7.5m; long axis SW-NE) spanning the Brown Flesk River. It is built of ashlar limestone with random rubble parapets and has three segmental arches (span c. 9m) with cut and dressed limestone voussoirs. There are low rounded cutwaters on both sides of the piers and a projecting string course across both faces of the bridge directly above the arches. Vertical stone coping on the parapets overhangs on both river faces. The parapet ends splay outwards and terminate in square piers. A plaque on the inner face of the NW parapet records the building of the bridge in 1831.
