Description
Four-arch rubble limestone bridge, built c.1860, carrying road over Dooyeriha River. Segmental arches with roughly dressed voussoirs and having V-cutwaters and rubble stone buttresses to upstream elevation.
Appraisal
This long low bridge is visible from the approach roads to the east and west, bringing architectural interest to the rural landscape. The carefully designed and executed arches are evidence of the skill of the stonemasons and stonecutters involved in the construction. Their neatly cut voussoirs provide textural contrast to the rougher rubble walls. It was built subsequent to the rerouting of the Dooyeriha River in the nineteenth century.
