Knocklofty Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Three-arch humpback bridge over River Suir, built c. 1800, with higher segmental middle arch flanked by lower depressed arches. Roughly coursed rubble limestone walls with cut-stone voussoirs and cut stone V-shaped cut-waters to both elevations, having cut stone impost course. Soffits have been gunnited with cement. Concrete capping to parapets.

The rubble limestone construction of this road bridge, contrasted with the cut stone voussoirs, adds textural interest to this site. The extra height of the middle arch gives the bridge a humpback. Located adjacent to Knocklofty Demesne this bridge is a significant part of the architectural heritage associated with Knocklofty House.
