What is recorded here
Single-arch road bridge over river, dated 1845. Part creeper- or ivy-covered granite ashlar walls with cut-granite corbelled stepped stringcourses on cut-granite dentil consoles supporting parapets having moss-covered cut-granite "saddleback" coping centred on cut-granite shield date stone ("1845"). Single segmental arch with granite ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning Boro River with unkempt banks to river.
A bridge erected by 'M. Howlin Builder' representing an integral component of the mid nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, one attributable to James Barry Farrell (1810-93), County Surveyor for County Wexford (appointed 1840; retired 1891), confirmed not only by the sheer granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the Boro River.
