The National Monuments Service's description
A NE-SW humpback road bridge, of random rubble sandstone, spanning the Beheenagh River. Four semicircular arches with roughly shaped voussoirs, some of which are projecting. The two central arches are the largest (span c. 5m). The SW arch (span 3.5m) is dry. There is a low rounded cutwater with ornamental moulding on the upstream side of the central pier (Wth 1.2m) and a low pointed cutwater on the NE pier. The arches are underpinned with concrete and the parapets have concrete coping. Paving on the river-bed under the arches extends beyond the bridge on the downstream side.
