The National Monuments Service's description
A road bridge (long axis NW-SE; Wth c. 5.5m), built of random rubble, spanning the Gweestin River. It consists of two segmental arches with roughly shaped voussoirs. A concrete cutwater has been added to the central pier and the sides of the abutments have also been reinforced.
