What is recorded here

Nine-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1725, over River Suck at border of counties Galway and Roscommon. One arch is flood arch. Walls of random rubble with small stones suggesting use of field stone and therefore of possible early eighteenth-century date. Round arches with roughly-cut voussoirs, with cutwaters to south side reaching level of arch heads. Copings of roughly squared stones laid flat. Shallow pedestrian refuges to each end and centre of bridge.
