Thick growth covers much of the structure as it crosses the Finoulagh River, yet enough stonework shows through to indicate something worth stopping for. The bridge runs roughly north to south, spans just under six metres in width, and carries the kind of quiet rural road that most drivers cross without slowing down.

The construction is random rubble sandstone, meaning the stones were laid without being cut into regular courses, a method common to vernacular bridge-building throughout Kerry and the wider south-west. Two segmental arches carry the load, each with a span of 3.1 metres and roughly shaped voussoirs, the wedge-cut stones that form the curved arch itself and transfer its weight outward and downward. Between the arches, on the upstream face of the central pier, sits a low pointed cutwater, a projecting wedge of masonry designed to divide the current and reduce pressure on the pier during flood. Both arches have been underpinned with concrete at some point, a practical intervention that has kept the structure functional at the cost of some of its original character. The parapets, too, have concrete coping along their tops. Below all of this, visible through the water beneath the arches, fragments of the original stone paving on the river bed have survived, suggesting the crossing was once more formally surfaced than it appears today.
