Triple-arch limestone road bridge over Little Brosna River, built c.1860. Cut-stone walls having voussoirs, string courses, coursed limestone rubble parapets and U-shaped cut-waters to western, downstream, elevation. Lower limestone rubble walls extend from parapets along road.
A scenic bridge of good quality craftsmanship having wide spanning arches over the Little Brosna River and linking counties Tipperary and Offaly. It exhibits good masonry and fine, crisp joints and the construction of the arches is of technical and engineering merit. The juxtaposition of the bridge with Derrinsallow Mill forms a group of considerable quality.
