What is recorded here

Five-arch humpback road bridge, built c. 1770, over River Suir. Round-headed arches with roughly dressed limestone voussoirs, rendered to south-east side. Rendered rubble limestone soffits. Rubble limestone parapet walls with large roughly dressed capstones, concrete coping to parapet walls to centre of bridge. Stile to west end of south-west parapet wall. Pipe carried across south-east elevation.
The form of this large humpback bridge is similar to Tar Bridge and Goats Bridge, with its wide arches rising high above water level. Visible from the north due to the bend in the approach road, it adds architectural interest to the landscape and is a significant feature at the edge of the village of Newcastle.
