What is recorded here

Seven-arch limestone road bridge over River Suir, built c.1600, widened and reconstructed c.1820. Dressed limestone triangular cut-waters and round arches having dressed voussoirs and dropped keystones to north elevation, and pointed segmental arches with roughly dressed voussoirs to south elevation. Concrete road surface with steel railings.
The combination of rubble and dressed limestone construction materials provides textural variation and interest to this road bridge, which has scenic value for the amenity area to the south. The bridge stands at an ancient crossing point of the River Suir and is likely to contain pre-1700 fabric.
