The National Monuments Service's description
Road bridge (original Wth 5.8m; long axis E-W) spanning the Owbeg River. Built of random rubble. Single segmental arch with roughly shaped voussoirs spans river. Two segmental dry arches, with roughly shaped voussoirs, on floodplain to the W. Two pointed cut-waters on upstream (N) side of piers rise to height of arches. The bridge has recently been extended on the downstream side. The surviving parapet wall has vertical stone coping.
