Appraisal
This is a well constructed bridge still in use today, indicating skilled engineering and execution. The use of local materials, small arches, and rubble stone is typical of early bridges on local roads, and it would have been important for the nearby creamery and mill in the past. It makes a pleasing feature in the landscape, glimpsed from nearby roads. Of social interest locally as it demarcates the boundary between two townlands.
