What is recorded here
Single-arch humpback road bridge, built c.1820, over canal linking Lough Keel and Lough Key. Ashlar limestone walls with dentil string course. Dressed limestone voussoirs to arch. Rendered balustrade to parapet with tooled stone end piers with fluted caps. Limestone retaining wall to canal to the south-east. Single-arch cut stone road bridge to north-east of main structure allowing for over-flow from canal.
This bridge, within the Rockingham Demesne, is an elegant structure very similar to Drumman's Bridge which was built in 1819 and also found within the estate grounds. A notable feature of the bridge is the unusual and delicate dentil detailing found on the string course which adds artistic interest to the bridge.
