Appraisal
This four-arch masonry bridge affords access to and from Drumahaire and as such it is a socially-important feature within the landscape. Constructed in stone, it is a fine example of a nineteenth-century bridge and is of architectural and technical significance. The modern plaque is dedicated to Derovorgilla, estranged wife of Tiernan O'Rourke and lover of Dermot MacMurrough.
