The National Monuments Service's description

This well-preserved single-arched bridge straddles a small stream that forms the townland boundary between An Leathchartúr/Cartron and Baile na hAbhann Theas/Ballynahown South. It is on the line of an old roadway running from the pier in c. 550m to the S to the S tip of Loch na Tulaí/Tully Lough to the N (information from Tim Robinson, 1986). Not visited.
