Description
Humpback single-arch rusticated limestone railway bridge, built 1868, carrying road over Ennis to Athenry railway line. Round arch with rock-faced voussoirs, walls, piers and coping to parapet walls and to flanking buttresses in both elevations. Ashlar soffit.
Appraisal
The limestone masonry of this bridge is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The rise and turn in the road adds interest to the landscape, and the bridge itself is visible from the roads to the north and west.
