Description
Three-arch road bridge over river, extant 1837. Part creeper- or ivy-covered walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (west) elevation with lichen-spotted rough hewn granite coping to parapets. Series of three round arches with lichen-spotted voussoirs. Sited spanning Glencullen River with grass banks to river.
Appraisal
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of south County Dublin: meanwhile, a much weathered benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
