What is recorded here

A road bridge (Wth 5.7m; long axis NW-SE), built of random rubble sandstone, spanning the Gweestin River. It consists of two semicircular arches (span c. 4.5m) with roughly shaped voussoirs. A low pointed cutwater of limestone ashlar appears to have been added to the upstream side of the pier (Wth c. 1m). There is a segmental dry arch (span 1.85m) on the flood plain to the SE. The parapets have vertical stone coping. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
