What is recorded here
Single-arch railway bridge over road, opened 1906. Part creeper- or ivy-covered rendered channelled walls between rendered channelled battered abutment walls with rendered chamfered stringcourses supporting parapets having concrete chamfered coping. Single segmental arch with red brick header bond voussoirs. Sited spanning road on a corner site with unkempt embankments to road.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the early twentieth-century civil engineering heritage of south County Wexford on account of the connections with the development of the Fishguard and Rosslare Railway (FRR) line opened (1906) by the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbours (FRRH) Company with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the channelled surface finish facing an innovative mass concrete hearting, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene (cf. 15703934).
