Mountcollins Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Double-span humpback road bridge, built c. 1870, spanning the River Feale. Having elliptical-headed arches with rusticated limestone voussoirs and rendered soffits. Springing from rusticated limestone piers with bowed cutwaters and domed tooled limestone capping, having concrete reinforcement to the bases. Dressed rubble stone spandrels and splayed rubble stone parapet walls with rendered coping. Built using natural bed rock as foundation.

This impressive road bridge is a fine example of nineteenth-century engineering achievements with its wide elliptical spans over the River Feale. Constructed on natural rock outcrops, the bridge is enlivened by its bowed cutwaters with domed capping and its use of contrasting textures in its materials which further enhance the visual appeal of the bridge. The narrow form of the bridge attests to the age of the structure when horse drawn carriages were the main form of transport.
