Bridge in Clonagh, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Bridge in Clonagh gives the grandly named Great Southern and Western Railway one stone arch to squeeze through. You'd let the train through first, then send the name round by road.

Single-arch cut stone bridge, erected in 1867, carrying road over the Limerick to Tralee branch of the Great Southern and Western Railway line. Roughly dressed limestone walls.

This bridge served an important technical function and adds incident to the landscape. The bridge forms an integral part of the history of railway transport in the area.
