Castle Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Castle Bridge in Killacolla has a finely carved limestone arch beneath a wall of rough rubble. All the best work faces the River Glencorbry, a shocking waste of good tailoring on an audience wearing neither trousers nor glasses.

Single-span limestone road bridge over the River Glencorbry, built c. 1830. Rubble walls and tooled voussoirs to segmental-headed arch.

This bridge is solidly constructed with limestone masonry walls. The dressings are finely carved and are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The bridge, which serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the early nineteenth century, replaces a bridge that was formerly on this site since the seventeenth century.
