Glenogra Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Five-arch humpback road bridge, built c. 1790, and repaired in 1899, carrying road over the River Camoge. Segmental arches with cut limestone voussoirs. Roughly dressed limestone walls and spandrels with dressed limestone copings to parapet. V-cutwaters to upstream (north-east) elevation and U-cutwaters to downstream (south-west) elevation. Carved limestone date plaque to north-east parapet wall, illegible plaque to south-west parapet wall.

The simple elegant form of this road bridge is much enhanced by the contrast between random rubble limestone walls and finely executed cut limestone voussoirs which adds textural interest to the site. Spanning a relatively small river, this bridge is a reminder of the pride and craftsmanship employed in such endeavours in the early nineteenth century. Plaque inscribed: "REPAIRED/AD 1899".
