What is recorded here

Single-arch rubble stone hump back road bridge over railway line, built 1853. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar, cut-limestone stringcourse, random rubble stone parapets, and cut-stone coping. Single segmental arch with rock-faced limestone ashlar voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having remains of lime render over. Sited spanning remains of Waterford and Tramore Railway line.
A well-composed bridge forming an attractive feature in the landscape, the rubble stone construction with cut-limestone dressings producing a textured visual effect. Of civil engineering interest on account of the construction of the arch, which has retained its original profile, the bridge is of additional significance for its associations with the development of the Waterford and Tramore Railway line in the mid nineteenth century.
