Spanning the Glashagarriv stream, this hump-backed road bridge is not especially wide, measuring just 3.7 metres across, and its single segmental arch clears the water with a span of 3.65 metres. What catches the eye, if you look carefully, is the way different eras of construction sit alongside one another: the original stonework and the later additions are in open conversation, not always a comfortable one.

The bridge dates from the mid to late nineteenth century, a period when rural Kerry saw considerable road improvement and the building of modest but solidly constructed crossings of this kind. The structural core is random rubble, a technique using unshaped or loosely shaped stones laid without regular coursing, while the arch itself is formed from rusticated ashlar, a more finished stonework with deliberately roughened faces. The voussoirs, the wedge-shaped stones that form the arch, are dressed and some project visibly beyond the bridge faces, a detail that gives the structure a slightly emphatic quality. At some point after its original construction, a strip of concrete was inserted across the southern face and a new overhanging parapet built onto it, quietly expanding the usable road surface by around 23 centimetres. The northern parapet survived in its original form but has since had concrete coping laid along its top. Even the river bed below has been attended to: stone paving runs from roughly the mid-point beneath the arch to about two metres beyond the south-eastern face, suggesting a long-standing concern with erosion at the outflow.
