Appraisal
This structure is an excellent example of the high level of craftsmanship employed in the construction of rural bridges during the nineteenth century. It stands as testament to the early efforts to improve road links in this area. The bridge is reputed to have been built by an architect named Long, who designed the nearby Greenmount House.
