What is recorded here

Triple-arch humpback road bridge, built c.1780, spanning Owennagearagh River. Segmental-headed arches having dressed stone voussoirs springing from rubble stone piers with V-cutwaters. Rubble stone spandrels and parapet walls having solider coping stones to parapet.
This well-executed bridge with its fine rubble stone walls and dressed voussoirs is an important feature of the surrounding area. The use of local materials in its construction helps the bridge to blend into its surroundings. It is a technically impressive structure that forms an important crossing point over the Owennagearagh River.
