What is recorded here
Triple-arch bridge, built 1779, over the River Clodiagh. Random rubble construction. V-cutwaters upstream. Arches of semicircular profile. Finely dressed limestone voussoirs. Replacement parapet to south with tubular steel rail on concrete wall. Repaired and altered parapet to north. Plaque reads: 'This bridge [laid?] 1779 Randall Poole Esq Overseer'.
This triple-arch bridge, erected by the Grand Jury in 1779, is a significant part of the architectural heritage of County Offaly. It is one of the few eighteenth-century bridges with both a known builder and date of construction.
