Description
Five-arch limestone road bridge over Little Brosna River, built c.1820, of coursed rubble construction with cut limestone voussoirs to high parabolic arches, and having cut-waters. Splayed rubble limestone rubble walls to each end of bridge.
Appraisal
Although heavily repointed, the proportions and form of this bridge over the Little Brosna River remain unaltered, with the swept parapet walls and high round arches adding character and elegance to the structure. The structure is also of importance as it spans the boundary between the counties of Tipperary and Offaly. The construction of the arches is of technical and engineering merit.
