Killeenagariff Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Killeenagariff Bridge in Killeenagarriff gives the river five arches to pass through, then sticks pointed stone dividers into the current to sort it out. Even the water gets ‘five queues, lads, five queues’ and immediately tries to join all of them.

Five-arch road bridge over the River Kileenagariff, built c. 1800. Dressed limestone walls. Round-headed arches having dressed limestone voussoirs. Cut limestone V-cutwaters with limestone caps to east elevation.

This large, imposing bridge, with five-arch span is a notable technical achievement, which gracefully spans the Kileengariff River. Well designed and finely executed, the bridge is indicative of high quality craftsmanship and engineering skills.
