Description

Single-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1855, over mill race. Wide segmental arch with crisply cut voussoirs, roughly cut-stone walls, and with rusticated blocks to parapets.

Appraisal

This is a good example of the type of bridge built in the mid-nineteenth century as part of the programme of river drainage in County Galway. Its limestone work is of good quality and is an attractive feature in the local landscape.
