The National Monuments Service's description
A road bridge (on a NW-SE axis; Wth 5.8m) over the Owenmore River and on the edge of the demesne of the late 17th-century Annaghmore house (SL026-049----). On the upstream side are seven low pointed segmental arches (span c. 2.5m) with shaped voussoirs. The downstream arches appear to be repaired in parts with concrete and underneath the arches have recently been heavily underpinned. Piers (Wth c. 2m) with pointed cutwaters on the upstream side form large V-shaped refuge niches in the parapet wall. There are low pointed concrete cutwaters on the downstream side. The bridge is medieval in appearance.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
