What is recorded here

Three-arch stone bridge, built c.1750, carrying local road over River Camcor. Random coursed stonework with ashlar arch rings. V-shaped cut-waters upstream and downstream. River bank accessed by stone steps. Modern railings mounted on upstream parapet.
Located on the boundary of Birr Demesne, this slightly-humpbacked bridge is simple in design and construction, reflecting its age and purpose. Linking counties Tipperary and Offaly, it carries traffic to and from Birr, thus performing a social function by facilitating the transport of people and goods.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
