Knockainy Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Knockainy Bridge in Knockainy West points its stone V-shaped cutwaters into the Camoge like knees on a crowded bus. The river has been trying to get past since about 1820. Not an inch have they moved.

Triple-arch limestone road bridge over the River Camoge, built c. 1820. Rubble stone walls with rubble cappings. Round-headed arches having roughly dressed voussoirs. Dressed V-cutwaters to south elevation.

This well proportioned bridge is enhanced by the use of various stone finishes in its construction. High quality craftsmanship is used in the construction of the cutwaters and finishes to the arches. It contributes positively to the village of Knockainy.
