The National Monuments Service's description
Slightly humpbacked road bridge (Wth 3.9m; long axis NW-SE) spanning the Coomeelan stream. Single segmental arch (span 11.1m) with large roughly dressed voussoirs which protrude at irregular intervals beyond the faces of the bridge. Abuttments are of coursed roughly dressed stone and display a batter on upstream and downstream sides of bridge. At each end of the bridge the parapet walls splay outwards to accommodate the wider road. Vertical stone coping on parapets. This bridge does not appear to be indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.
