45/52 Burrishoole Bridge

Burrishoole Bridge represented an important component of eighteenth-century civil engineering heritage in Newport’s rural environs with architectural value of composition as elegant ‘sweep’ of arches over Burrishoole channel crossing in Ben Gorm’s shadow. It comprised of a series of seven round arches with squared rubble stone voussoirs. Constructed with unrefined local fieldstone. Random rubble stone walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers also covered rubble stone course coping to parapets. www.ouririshheritage.org
