What is recorded here

Single-arch masonry bridge, constructed c.1850, carrying the Sharavogue Shinrone road over the Little Brosna River. Rock-faced sandstone parapets with rusticated quoins. Dressed string course. Segmental profile arch. Rusticated voussoirs. Roughly dressed blocks to spandrels. Parapets coped with dressed limestone blocks. Wing walls of sandstone blocks.
Sharavogue Bridge is situated beside the Sharavogue railway bridge and together the bridges add to the architectural heritage of the area. It was built on the site of an earlier eighteenth-/early nineteenth-century bridge which was replaced by the Board of Works as part of the Little Brosna drainage scheme works from 1848-1852.
