The National Monuments Service's description
A road bridge (Wth 5.8m; long axis N-S), overgrown with ivy, which spans the Finoulagh River. It is built of random rubble sandstone and has two segmental arches (span 3.1m) with roughly shaped voussoirs. A low pointed cutwater occurs on the upstream side of the pier (Wth 0.9m). There is a plinth at the base of the S arch. Both arches are underpinned using concrete. The remains of stone paving is visible on the river bed beneath the arches. The parapets have concrete coping.
