Bannfield Bridge, Moneygore Road, Rathfriland, Newry, Co Down, BT34

This skew triple-arch masonry bridge carries a minor road over the River Bann. Constructed of granite throughout, its abutments and piers are of roughly-dressed blocks. The abutments’ quoins are rusticated and margined, but the piers continue up and downstream as angled cutwaters rising to arch spring level and finished with domed caps. Three equi-sized segmental arches with finely dressed voussoirs; soffits of roughly-squared blocks laid on skew. Spandrels and parapets of random rubble. The latter are coped with rusticated and margined blocks. No terminal piers. Random rubble walls retain the banks for a short distance beyond each end of the bridge. Setting Farmyard a short distance NW but otherwise fields all around.
