What is recorded here
Single-arch limestone bridge, built c.1800, carrying road over River Ballaun. Elliptical arch with tooled voussoirs. Cut-stone walls with cut-stone string course and parapet walls, and rock-faced copings. Rubble limestone approach walls.
This simple bridge stands as a tribute to the skill and engineering of stonemasons of an earlier era. The wide arch is tailored to accommodate the waters of the river and the adjoining mill race. The façade is enlivened by the well executed string course. The rock-faced copings add interest to the roadscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
