The National Monuments Service's description

A road bridge (Wth 5.9m; long axis NE-SW) spanning the Quagmire River. It is built of random rubble and has five putlog holes in its SE face. The two segmental arches (span 6.5m) have roughly shaped voussoirs and have been underpinned with concrete. The river bed is paved under arches. A difference in the stonework suggests tha the S parapet has been rebuilt.
