What is recorded here
Single-arch masonry bridge, built c.1835, carrying minor road over disused Kilbeggan branch of Grand Canal. Regularly coursed limestone blocks. Semicircular profile arch. Parapets project slightly from dressed limestone spandrels. Spandrel faces curve outwards to terminate in finely dressed piers embellished with string course. Humped deck and ramped approaches. Tow rope marks on east quoins. The south-east pier is slightly damaged with repairs in mass concrete and concrete blocks. Towpath runs through the east side.
This bridge is of architectural merit due to the high quality of the stonework. Its setting within the landscape enhances its architectural heritage merit.
