The National Monuments Service's description
A road bridge (Wth 4.6m; long axis E-W) spanning the Dromoghty River. Built of random rubble, it has a single segmental arch (span c. 5m) with roughly dressed voussoirs some of which protrude beyond the face of the bridge. Abuttments are of coursed dressed stone. Concrete coping has been added to the parapets. The bridge crosses the stream at right angles and the road has to turn sharply at both ends of the bridge to accommodate this.
