What is recorded here
Doonane Bridge in Cloneen puts a pointed stone wedge between its two arches, so the Dinin has to split to get past. Even the river arrives here as one body and leaves refusing to travel with the other half.
Two-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, c.1800. Random rubble limestone walls with rubble limestone triangular cut-water to pier, and rubble limestone coping to parapets. Pair of segmental arches with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and rendered soffits. Sited spanning Dinin River.
An elegantly-composed bridge of considerable vintage incorporating two substantial arches resting on a slender pier, thereby representing an important element of the civil engineering heritage of County Kilkenny. Making a positive impression at a crossing over the Dinin River the construction in locally-sourced rubble stone produces a rustic quality serving to integrate the composition pleasantly into the surrounding rural landscape.
