What is recorded here
Three-arch road bridge, set within a long causeway spanning the Lower Vartry Reservoir, constructed c.1868. The bridge is in rock-faced granite and has three segmental arches. Both parapets have dressed granite coping with square piers with pyramidal caps to the west end of each. The causeway itself is battered and has rubble-built parapets with rough rounded coping. There are gateways to each side at either end of the causeway, each with wrought-iron gates and piers similar to the bridge.
Functional yet not totally unattractive road bridge and causeway of 1868, part of the historically important Lower Vartry Reservoir.
