Cregmore Bridge

Twelve-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1810, over River Clare. Four central arches span river. Round arches having dressed stone voussoirs to arch rings and random rubble to spandrels. Triangular cutwaters of squared stone blocks to north-east elevation with triangular concrete aprons. Rubble parapets with flat copings. Square-headed final arch to south-west elevation flanked by triangular cement-rendered piers, section above rebuilt and faced with cement render and having concrete coping. Triangular concrete areas to arches at river banks, with grass to flanking arches on landward sides.

This impressive limestone bridge carries traffic over the River Clare, a popular fishing river. It is an important part of the historic infrastructure of the area and though simply detailed the stonework exemplifies the skills of local craftsmen and is a good example of early nineteenth-century road engineering.
