Description
Five-arch limestone road bridge over Nenagh River, built c.1720. Rubble walls with snecked limestone cut-waters to south elevation and rubble voussoirs to round and segmental arches. Semi-circular-plan refuges to south parapet walls.
Appraisal
This bridge is a fine example of the technical achievements of local craftsmen. It is constructed with rubble limestone masonry contrasting with the finer masonry of the cut-waters. The bridge design caters for vehicular as well as pedestrian traffic as the refuges to the south testify.
