What is recorded here

Seven-arch rubble stone bridge over the River Maigue, built c. 1857, comprising rubble stone walls with rubble copings. Segmental arches with cut voussoirs. V-cutwaters rising to form V-plan refuges within parapet walls. Recent footbridges to south.
This bridge forms part of the Adare Manor estate, allowing access over the wide River Maigue, beside which Adare Manor is built. Its V-cutwaters and refuges, which are reputed to have been designed by the Earl of Dunraven, were inspired the fourteenth-century bridge to the north of Adare Manor, which the Earl of Dunraven widened in 1837. The wide span calls for multiple arches which are well constructed and display features of fine crafting. The bridge forms a group with the other demesne related structures within the Adare Manor complex.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
