What is recorded here
Seven metres of rough stone span the forgotten track beside Kilmackilloge Harbour, forcing the KenmareCastletownbere road to climb above what the sea and time have swallowed. The arch remains stubborn while the world around it changes, a small bridge carrying people across a gap that may no longer exist.
Viaduct (Wth 7m; long axis SW-NE) on the S side of Kilmackilloge Harbour, carrying the KenmareCastletownbere road over a grass-covered trackway. Built of random rubble with a single segmental arch (span 3m), with rough voussoirs, carried on high abuttments. A lintelled drain is built into the base of the E abutment on the NW side. The road approaching the viaduct on either side is carried on a random rubble causeway with a batter.
