The National Monuments Service's description
A humpback road bridge (Wth 5.55m ; long axis NE-SW) spanning the Owgarriff River. It is built of random rubble sandstone and has three segmental arches, the central being the largest (span 4.82m), with roughly shaped voussoirs. Two low pointed cutwaters, of stone with concrete reinforcement, have been added to the upstream side of the piers. There is a recently built causeway to the W bank of the river on the S side of the bridge.
