Gormanstown Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Two-arch humpback road bridge, built c. 1780, over the Morningstar River. Coursed rubble limestone walls with dressed limestone plinths. Round-headed arches with tooled stone voussoirs. Cut limestone V-cutwater to upstream pier.

This simple elegant road bridge exhibits some well executed limestone tooling to plinth and cutwaters. Spanning a relatively small length, it never the less exhibits the skill and engineering of local craftsmanship in the nineteenth century in Ireland. It is one of a number of bridges spanning the Morningstar River, all of which utilised local skills and materials in their design and execution and together forming an important component of the character of the area.
