Six-arch limestone road bridge over River Shannon, dated 1843, with square-headed reinforced concrete navigation span of 1971 at south end, latter span replacing cast-iron swivel bridge. Present bridge replaced structure of c.1690 and that in turn had replaced seventeen-arch late medieval bridge. Rock-faced rusticated approach walls, regularly laid dressed limestone blocks to bridge proper with projecting pilasters between arches, and cut-stone string course. Semi-elliptical arches with channelled rusticated voussoirs and ashlar soffits. Cut limestone abutments. Late twentieth-century parapet with dressed limestone piers having modern electric lamp standards and mild steel railings. Date plaques to eastern parapet piers. Dressed limestone U-plan platform at south end of west side. Cast-iron plaque to parapet commemorates construction of bridge.
