Single-arch masonry canal bridge, c.1802, carrying an accommodation track over the Grand Canal. Roughly dressed limestone blocks. Arch of semi-elliptical profile with dressed limestone voussoirs. Continuous string course across face to terminal piers.

Derry Bridge retains its original character and is a good example of canal architecture. It makes a positive and attractive addition to the canalscape and is an important piece of architectural heritage associated with Ireland's inland waterways.
