Holy Well Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over stream/river, built c. 1780, with squared rubble limestone walls/spandrels and parapets and having a round arch with dressed limestone voussoirs. Located to the southwest of Edgeworthstown.

This simple single-arch road bridge retains its early form and character. The simple form and execution is typical of the construction techniques utilised throughout Ireland for many modest bridges. It is well-built using squared limestone rubble and the dressed limestone voussoirs to the arch are indicative of good quality stonemasonry. The bridge is not of apparent architectural or engineering design, and for this reason it is significant as it is an example of a traditional building form. It is a pleasing feature in the rural landscape and is an addition to the built heritage of the Edgeworthstown area.
