Built from random ashlar sandstone, meaning irregularly shaped but dressed blocks laid without a strict course pattern, the bridge is roughly eight metres wide and oriented east to west across the river. What distinguishes it from a purely functional crossing is the care evident in its detailing: a single elliptical arch formed with cut and dressed voussoirs, the wedge-shaped stones that lock an arch into place and distribute its load, finished with a projecting string course running along the base of the parapets. The remains of vertical stone coping are still visible along the top.

The bridge also features a lintelled overflow arch on the western bank, a secondary opening designed to carry floodwater when the river runs high, its lintel a flat stone spanning the gap rather than a curved arch. This kind of practical redundancy was common in Kerry road bridges built to handle the sudden rises of upland rivers draining into the Kenmare area. The eastern bank, by contrast, is now largely obscured beneath dense overgrowth, which obscures whatever original stonework or approach features may survive on that side.
