Dungrot Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Dungrot Bridge in Knockanebrack gives a tributary of the Aherlow a tall arch edged in smart limestone against rough sandstone. It’s the entrance a stream orders when it’s told the cousins from the Shannon are coming.

Single-arch sandstone road bridge, built c. 1870, with coursed rubble parapet walls with rubble cappings. Rusticated walls to north and south elevations. Dressed limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches.

This bridge is distinguished by its tall arche and well cut limestone voussoirs, which provide chromatic variation against the sandstone walls. The bridge is indicative of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Dungrot Bridge crosses a tributary of the Aherlow River.
