The National Monuments Service's description
Mid/late 19th-century road bridge (Wth 4.5m; long axis SW-NE) spanning the Coomeelan stream. Central segmental arch (span 6.1m) spans river channel. Flanked to NE by two segmental dry arches (spans 3.1m and 4.4m) and to SW by a further segmental dry arch (span 2.9m). These four arches have voussoirs of dressed stone some of which project beyond faces of bridge. Lintelled overflow arch (span 1.45m) on bank to SW. Arches supported on piers of coursed dressed stone constructed on bedrock; rounded cutwaters on upstream (SE) side. Rubble-built parapet walls with lintelled drainage holes at base and with concrete coping.
