Description

This single-arch stone and brick bridge carries a minor road over the former single-track Lisburn-Banbridge Railway. This bridge is of squared random rubble blackstone. Its abutment quoins are rusticated and margined. The arch is of segmental profile and comprises four header courses of brick. The parapets have margined ends and are coped with roughly-dressed sandstone blocks, chamfered and projecting to their outside faces. The end coping stone at NW has been slightly dislodged through vehicle impact. The carriageway is only a single lane wide and rises up to the bridge in an artificial embankment. The railway track has been infilled to the north of the bridge such that only the crown of its brick arch ring is now visible. There has also been some dumping of soil etc underneath the actual arch, such that only the SE wing wall is now visible. It is of random rubble blackstone, coped with sandstone blocks. The line of the track survives to the south of the bridge. Much of the visible face of the bridge is covered with ivy. Setting Rural setting. Farm buildings to the north screen from view.
