Bridge in Clashadoo, County Cork

What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge spanning Ihanogoranagh Stream, built c.1830. Randomly coursed limestone construction with segmental-arch and dressed ashlar voussoirs. Limestone piers, cap stones, string course and rounded coping.

This structure is an excellent example of the high level of craftsmanship employed in the construction of rural bridges during the nineteenth century. It stands as testament to the early efforts to improve road links in this area. The bridge makes a pleasing contribution to the surrounding landscape.
