Bridge at Ballyknockan Mill, Tullygarvan Road, Tullygarvan & Ballyknockan, Ballygowan, Co. Down, BT23 6[?NB]

Road bridge, carrying the Ballyknockan Road over the Ballygowan River and a (now defunct) mill race, c.2 miles W of Ballygowan. The bridge is set at a low level and constructed from random whinstone rubble. To the S side are two low semicircular arches separated by a cutwater. The S side of the bridge is largely covered in greenery. The cutwater splits the river in two form a mill race (which flows to the W), the rest of the water (to the E). Thus, on the N side of the road, the arches are more widely spaced. To the N side is a low parapet constructed roughly in rubble. The parapet to the S appears to have been rebuilt recently and is slightly taller, but with the same general rough appearance that to the N. The road is covered in tarmac. Disused rubble-built mill buildings to the W, with not insubstantial remains of water wheel. For fuller report on mill buildings see HB25/02/015 & /016.
