What is recorded here
Crettyard Bridge in Cloneen still carries the remains of an iron lamp on a fine stone cap. The light has given up, but the position remains filled, a lovely little monument to the fellow who retired without telling the wages office.
Single-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, c.1825. Repaired, c.1975. Random rubble stone walls with unpainted rendered parapets having unpainted roughcast panels, and unpainted rendered piers having cut-limestone chamfered capping supporting remains of iron lamp standard. Single segmental arch with rendered voussoirs, and rendered soffits. Sited spanning tributary of Dinin River with part-overgrown banks to river.
A pleasant, if unassuming small-scale bridge representing an element of the early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Kilkenny.
