Crevenagh Bridge, Omagh, Co.Tyrone

A single-span hump-back road-over-railway bridge, built c.1840, formerly carrying the avenue of Crevenagh Farm over the rail-line to Crevenagh Road. Now severed by the Great Northern Road and in use by a dwelling to the west of Crevenagh Road. Abutments, spandrels and parapets are squared random coursed rock-faced basalt. The parapet coping is roughly dressed rock-faced limestone. Carried on a single round-headed arch with rock-faced voussoirs having tooled edges and red brick soffit. Battered buttresses to both abutments taper inwards to parapet level and are formed in rock-faced basalt. To the east the abutments are curved and drop in level. Setting:- A single-lane bitmac carriageway now serves a modern dwelling to the east, with no sign of the former rail line. The ground level of the former rail line appears to have been built up and now serves as a private garden to the dwelling. Walls:- Basalt/ red brick soffit
