What is recorded here
Dromkeen Bridge has two arches over the River Dead and a pointed stone nose braced against the current. Dead, is it? They’ve built it a pair of exits and something to fend it off. Somebody wasn’t taking its word for it.
Double-arch limestone built road bridge, built c. 1820, over the River Dead. Roughly dressed limestone walls having dressed voussoirs to segmental arches. V-cutwater to upstream elevation. Flat limestone copings to parapet wall.
The simple form of this bridge is enhanced by the textural variation created with the stone finishes. Such stone work displays the work applied by skilled craftsmen of the past.
