Appraisal
A picturesque rubble stone bridge that forms an attractive feature on the Greagagh River. The construction of the arches and span, which have retained their original profile, identifies the civil engineering heritage significance of the composition. The bridge is distinguished by its original intended role, providing access to a chimney (22826003/WD-37-26-03) from the distillery (later a flour mill) on site (22826021/WD-37-26-21), and, together with the chimney, the bridge presents a landmark site in the centre of Clashmore.
