What is recorded here

Single-arch bridge, built c.1860, crossing An Abhainn Bhuí [Owenwee River], comprising wide segmental arch with elongated rock-faced stone voussoirs framed by slightly projecting rubble stone parapets with field-stone copings and by battered rubble abutments. Dressed stone faces to carriageway elevations of parapets.
A robust and elegant road bridge built in the vicinity of Glenveagh Castle, probably around the same time as the latter. The elongated voussoirs to the arch and spandrels are a distinctive feature and contrast with the rubble stone abutments and parapets to form a visually pleasing composition.
