Carrig Viaduct — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Six-arch limestone railway viaduct over Carrig River, built 1860, now disused. Rusticated stone piers with dressed stone impost courses, round arches with ashlar soffits and rock-faced voussoirs. Dressed stone string course above arches, with ashlar parapet walls above. Rusticated abutments with dressed copings.

This substantial, finely built viaduct formed part of the Mallow to Fermoy line which closed in 1967. Its immense size gives it a dramatic and rhythmical silhouette in the landscape. Textural interest is provided by several different treatments of limestone - ashlar parapets and soffits, rock-faced voussoirs, and rusticated piers. The structure constitutes a fine example of mid-nineteenth-century engineering.
