What is recorded here

Twenty-four-arch road bridge, built c.1820, spanning River Lee, having twelve-arches over river and twelve arches on land to south. Segmental-headed arches with dressed limestone voussoirs springing from limestone block piers with V-cutwaters. Rubble limestone spandrels and parapets.
A magnificent bridge, spanning the River Lee, which makes a striking addition to the landscape. It was rebuilt in 1805 to improve access to the gunpowder mill complex which was located to the east. Now carrying substantially heavier and more traffic than its designers and builders could have imagined, it stands as a testament to their skill.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
