What is recorded here
Seven-arch humpback road bridge, over River Suir, erected c. 1820, with three further segmental-arched flood arches to west. Coursed roughly-dressed limestone walls, with dressed limestone voussoirs to round arches. Rubble limestone parapet walls with roughly-dressed limestone capping stones. Drain holes to parapets.
The different stone dressings used in the construction of this bridge add textual variation to its appearance. The three arches to the west are an interesting feature and indicate that the river may once have been wider and now function as overflow arches today. The long parapet walls create a sense of anticipation when approaching the bridge.
