Description
The remains of a single-span girder bridge, likely constructed between 1840 and 1858, once carried a single-track railway line over a minor road. While little of the original bridge structure remains, the supporting abutments are still visible. These are built of large, regularly-coursed, rock-faced limestone blocks with margined quoins. Angled wing walls are present, constructed of smaller limestone blocks laid randomly and finished with finely dressed copings that also form a slightly projecting top course to the abutments. The bridge abutments are set at right angles to the railway line, despite the road itself not being aligned perpendicularly. The railway embankment is visible on both sides of the structure.
The railway line, running between Clones and Lisbellaw, opened in 1858, with the final section to Enniskillen opening the following year. An Ordnance Survey map from 1857 describes this structure as a 'viaduct', despite its single span. The Dublin and Enniskillen Railway became the Irish North Western Railway in 1862, later merging with the Ulster and Northern Railways in 1876 to form the Great Northern Railway. The line ceased operation in 1957. This bridge is considered to have industrial archaeological interest and is currently in a derelict state.
