Single arch road bridge over the River Dodder, c.1800, widened westwards in 1952. Original roughcast elevation to east, replacement squared limestone to west, each with parapet and ashlar voussoirs to segmental arch. Bronze plaque by Domhnall Ó Murchadha (1914-91) with relief portraits of Patrick Pearse (1879-1916) and Willie Pearse (1881-1916).
A sturdy single arch bridge, barely noticed when travelling the road above, which is typical of other Dodder bridges that have been widened for the modern day needs of traffic. Its original east elevation, which is a fine example of the type, is rarely seen by the passing public above but is a feature of the riverside walkway.
