Appraisal
Curralhir Bridge, crossing the Flurry River, is an attractive bridge of traditional construction and forms an important component of the riverscape. The V-cutwaters, roughly dressed stone voussoirs and parapet and the long random rubble walling running to the east, protecting the road from the Flurry River flood plain, all add to the architectural detailing of the bridge which retains its original profile and form and is of a technical engineering interest.
