The bridge is modest by any measure, but its particulars reward a second look: a single segmental arch, meaning one that forms a shallow curve rather than a full semicircle, with roughly shaped voussoirs, the wedge-cut stones that lock an arch together, spanning just under five metres of moving water.

The structure is built from random rubble sandstone and shale, the kind of construction common to rural Kerry bridges where locally available stone was laid without the strict coursing you would find in more formal masonry work. Concrete coping has been added to the parapets at some point, suggesting a repair or upgrade to a bridge that was already old enough to need attention. The overall width of 5.8 metres sits on a northwest to southeast axis, carrying what was once, and perhaps still is, a working road across this tributary in the Castleisland district.
