The National Monuments Service's description
A road bridge (Wth c. 4.5m; long axis NE-SW) spanning the Dromoghty River. The bridge is built of random rubble sandstone. The central section (L c. 7.4m) of the NW face of the bridge is recessed (D c. 1m) and contains a segmental arch (span c. 5.8m) with rusticated voussoirs. A semicircular dry arch (span c. 2.3m), with roughly shaped voussoirs, is built on an adjacent rock outcrop on the SW bank fo the river. The parapets have vertical stone coping. On the 1895-7 OS 6-inch map the name "Dawros Br." is transferred to a newer bridge, c. 200m to the N.
