What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over a dry channel of the Pollaphuca River, built c.1830. The bridge is rubble-constructed with battered abutments. A tall narrow pointed arch supports the carriageway whilst the road margins are carried on higher level Tudor arched recesses of wider span. The former arch has moulded voussoirs whilst those of the recesses are of rough stone; a shield-shaped panel is set between the arch and the recess. The parapets are also rubble-constructed with two refuges to the west, whilst that to the east has a breakfront directly above the line of the position of the arch.
