What is recorded here
Single-arch hump back road bridge over river, extant 1895. Modified. Ivy-covered wall (north-west) with drag edged rock faced cut-limestone stringcourse supporting parapet having rock faced cut-limestone coping. Single segmental arch with drag edged tooled limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Clydagh River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Mayo with the architectural value of the composition, one recalling a nearby bridge (extant 1895; see 31307001), confirmed not only by the robust rock faced surface finish offset by "sparrow pecked" sheer limestone dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Clydagh River.
