The National Monuments Service's description
In woodland, on the old Killarney-Kenmare Road which is now a pedestrian trackway. The bridge (Wth 4.7m; long axis E-W) is built of random rubble and its single semental arch (span c. 5.5m) with roughly shaped voussoirs spans the Owengarriff River. There is a concrete weir on the downstream side. Torc New Bridge (KE074-036----) is c. 1km to the N.
