Ahacrossaun Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Ahacrossaun Bridge in Ashroe gives Limerick and Tipperary three grand arches over the River Clare. Even the river has brought a third county’s name to the argument. Ask who has the nicest bit and you could miss your dinner.

Triple-arch road bridge over the River Clare, built c. 1800. Roughly dressed limestone walls with recent metal railings to parapets. Round-headed arch having dressed limestone voussoirs. Cut limestone V-cutwaters to east elevation with limestone caps.

Situated at the border between Counties Limerick and Tipperary, this bridge represents a notable technical achievement. The large, graceful arches are indicative of high quality design and form an elegant silhouette in the landscape.
