What is recorded here

Spanning the W-flowing River Liffey (L c. 60m NNE-SSW; max. Wth c. 7.3m; Wth of road c. 5.2m). Described by O’Keeffe and Simmington (1991, 185-6) as, ‘A tall stately seven-arch bridge … .’ Built of random rubble masonry ‘of excellent quality’, the bridge has triangular cutwaters on the upstream and downstream faces, low parapets (H c. 0.75m) and ‘probably dates from the second half of the 17th-century’ (op. cit. 185).
