Meelick Br.

Meelick Bridge traverses the Crompaun River or Meelick Creek connecting the townland of Clonconane in County Limerick to Meelick in County Clare.  The present 19th-century road bridge may have been built on the site of the medieval bridge that is depicted on the 17th-century Down Survey map of the Barony of North Liberties (Hib. Reg.;  BL Add MS 72870/14).  Present day road bridge described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a ‘Single-arched humpback road bridge, built c. 1800, over the River Crompaun or Meelick Creek. Rubble limestone and sandstone walls. Extended to north elevation. Red brick voussoirs to round-headed arch’ (NIAH Reg. No. 21900501).  Cross referenced with CL062-049----. See attached Down Survey map of the Barony of North Liberties which shows the bridge.  Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 8 June 2020
