What is recorded here

Clonskeagh Bridge has different stonework on its east and west faces, as though the builders fell out halfway through and each finished his own side. A fine Dublin compromise: both men right, neither speaking, traffic moving.

The Down Survey map (1655-6) shows a bridge crossing the river Dodder atClonskeagh. This has been replaced relatively recently by a granite bridge. The make-up of this structure varies from the E to the W face suggesting different building phases (O'Keefe & Simington 1991, 212).
