What is recorded here
Five-arch humpback road bridge, originally built c. 1747, carrying a road over the River Deel. Rubble stone walls with segmental arches having cut stone voussoirs rubble stone V-cutwaters with rendered plinths.
This bridge spans a wide range and is a significant feature on a main route into the town of Rathkeale. Its symmetrical plan, with tall V-cutwaters dividing regular tall arches, contributes to an aesthetically pleasing elevation. The humpback form adds incident to the street, further marked by the tall parapet walls. NOTE: The bridge has recently (2014) been renamed in honour of the Rathkeale-born tenor Christopher Lynch (1920-91).
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
