What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge over Dublin to Cork railway line, built in 1849. Rusticated parapet walls with cut copings and stringcourses. Rusticated voussoirs to the segmental-headed arches. Dressed abutment walls having cut copings to east elevation.

An elegantly composed bridge forming an integral part of the railway heritage of County Limerick, having been built as part of the Dublin to Cork line by the Great Southern and Western Railway company. The construction in rock-faced stone work produces an appealing textured visual effect, while the arch, which has retained its original profile, identifies the civil engineering heritage importance of the composition.
