Description

Triple-arch masonry road bridge, built c.1780, spanning the River Ollatrim at the border of Counties Offaly and Tipperary. Random rubble construction with V-shaped cutwaters to upstream side. Slightly skew arches with rubble voussoirs. Middle arch is semi-elliptical profile.

Appraisal

A most pleasing stone bridge that straddles the River Ollatrim. It has a agreeable design and provides an essential crossing point of social importance.
