Dysart Bridge

Five-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, c.1800. Bypassed, post-1973. Random rubble limestone walls with rubble limestone triangular cut-waters to piers, and dressed limestone coping to parapets. Series of five segmental arches with squared limestone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having traces of render over. Sited spanning Dinin River with grass banks to river.

An elegantly-appointed middle-size bridge built as one of a pair (with 12401009/KK-10-09) spanning the Dinin River representing an important element of the late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Kilkenny. Despite having been decommissioned by the late twentieth century unlike the contemporary counterpart the bridge has been retained in its entirety, thereby remaining an appealing landmark making a positive contribution to the character of the locality.
