The National Monuments Service's description
This bridge spans the River Tolka S of Finglas town. It is a four-arched example with three round arches close together and one on the S bank. The parapet walls are of coursed limestone masonry with granite coping. The stonework changes in character in the lower portion of the walls indicating an earlier building phase which maybe of medieval date (Simington & O'Keefe 1991, 17, 290).
