Three-arch masonry aqueduct, built c.1804, carrying the Grand Canal over the River Clodiagh. Dressed limestone abutments, piers and cutwaters. V-shaped cutwaters to both upstream and downstreams. Dressed string course. Towpath to both sides of canal.

This aqueduct forms part of an important group of structures along the Grand Canal. Although overgrown, the cutwaters and arch-rings display fine masonry and refect the skilled workmanship involved their construction. It is one of three aqueducts along the County Offaly stretch of the Grand Canal.
