What is recorded here
Single-arch snecked rock-faced limestone bridge, built c.1890, over Bunow River, providing access to St Cronan's Catholic church from north. Bridge has rusticated voussoirs to arch and has rock-faced piers, and parapet walls with copings. Gas lamp standards, added 1884, with barley-sugar shafts to parapet walls.
This bridge's fine stonework is clearly the work of skilled masons. It incorporates fabric from the cloister of a medieval friary and forms part of an interesting group of structures in Saint Cronan's Churchyard. The gas lamp standards add further interest to the structure.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
