Description
Single-arch humpback railway bridge, built c. 1860, over Cork to Dublin railway line. Coursed rock-faced limestone walls and parapets, with rock-faced voussoirs to segmental arch, and having cut limestone string course and capping stones to parapet. Rubble limestone approach walls to bridge.
Appraisal
This bridge was built to carry the Ardmayle to Clonoulty road over the railway line. The rock-faced limestone walls contrast with the cut limestone string course to create textural variation in the bridge's appearance. The bridge forms part of a group of structures associated with the now disused railway station.
