Rockfield Bridge

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, carrying road over Ennis Junction to Athenry railway line, built 1869. Snecked rock-faced rusticated limestone walls and piers, having recent rendered coping to rubble stone parapet walls. Ashlar soffit. Elliptical arch with rock-faced rusticated voussoirs. Slight batter to abutment walls.

The railway bridge is solidly constructed with snecked limestone walls. The dressings are finely carved and are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The bridge displays the quality of the engineering and craft skills employed in the mid-nineteenth century. The bridge forms part of a larger group of bridges along the Ennis Junction to Athenry railway line and is a reminder of the expansion of the railway network throughout Ireland in the late nineteenth century.
