What is recorded here
Four-arch limestone bridge, originally possibly c.1600 and rebuilt c.1725, carrying road traffic over Nenagh River. Now disused and bypassed by new road to east. Two round central arches flanked by lower segmental arches. Triangular cut-waters to south. Roughly-dressed voussoirs, rubble elevations and stone block and rubble parapet walls topped with concrete course.
Although closed to vehicles, this possibly late medieval bridge is still used by walkers and in good structural order. Briefly visible from the new bridge and the main road, the textural variation between the rubble stone and the cut stone is of interest.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
