Description
Triple-arch road bridge, built c.1880, with dressed stone walls, ashlar cutwaters, voussoirs, string course and parapet.
Appraisal
The masonry construction of this road bridge is of particular interest and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. The ashlar masonry is finished to a high standard, and articulates the form of the bridge. Plaque on the bridge reads: 'Near this spot in Nov 1841 an Ulster force led by Rory O' Moore and others defeated Government troops marching to the relief of Drogheda. The victory was followed by the formation of the Catholic Confederation.'
