Bridge in Finnoo, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Bridge in Finnoo has three tall arches still doing their job and a plaque you can no longer read. Somebody paid to have the last word in stone. The weather has spent two centuries saying, ‘Sorry now, who are you?’

Triple-arch road bridge, built c. 1810, carrying road over the River White. Rubble stone walls having cut limestone V- cutwaters to south elevation and cut limestone voussoirs to semi-circular arches. Roughly dressed limestone copings to parapet walls. Inscribed plaque to north wall.

The symmetrical form of this road bridge is enhanced by the textural variation created by the rubble stone walls and cut voussoirs. There is evidence of technical skill in its construction and the solid construction and tall arches add much of interest to the landscape. Plaque illegible.
