Description
Three-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1800, carrying road over Ballinure River. Rubble stone walls and parapet walls with rubble stone vertical coping stones. Round arches with dressed stone voussoirs.
Appraisal
Ballinure Bridge is robustly constructed albeit small in scale and retains its original character. It is a subtle landmark on the road between Portumna and Ballinasloe. The small arches are typical of early bridges.
