Lisnafulla Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Lisnafulla Bridge has pointed stone cutwaters to part the stream neatly, then a service pipe barging through its handsome arches. Two centuries dressing for dinner, and somebody’s tucked a plumbing job under its arm.

Double-span road bridge, built c. 1820, spanning a tributary of the River Killilagh. Round-headed arches with tooled limestone voussoirs and dressed limestone soffits springing from dressed stone piers with tooled stone quoins. V-profile tooled limestone cutwaters to south elevation. Dressed rubble stone spandrels and parapet walls having rubble stone coping. Recent service pipe cutting through arches and to side (south) elevation. Tarmac road surface to carriageway.

Lisnafulla Bridge is visually pleasing and retains its historic round-headed arches. High quality craftsmanship is evident in the execution of its fine V-shaped cutwaters and the general stonework.
