What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge over Multeen River, built c. 1820, of random rubble limestone construction, having tooled cut limestone voussoirs and jambs to three-centred arches and dressed limestone coping to parapet walls. Cut limestone V-shaped cutwaters to upstream elevation.
The simple elegant form of this road bridge is much enhanced by the contrast between random rubble limestone walls and finely-executed cut limestone voussoirs which adds textural interest to the site. Spanning a relatively small river, this bridge is a reminder of the pride and craftsmanship employed in such endeavours in the early nineteenth century.
