What is recorded here

Longford Bridge in Knockanebrack gets you from Tipperary into Limerick in one arch. A very short crossing to spend undoing everything you said about Limerick on the way over.
Single-arch sandstone road bridge, built c. 1870, with coursed rubble walls with render copings. Cut voussoirs to round-headed arches.
This bridge, which spans the Aherlow River, is distinguished by its tall arches and well cut limestone voussoirs, which provide chromatic variation against the sandstone walls. The bridge is an example of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. It is an important bridge as it acts as a boundary between Counties Tipperary South and Limerick.
