What is recorded here

Six-arch limestone road bridge over Craughwell River, built c.1600 and widened to west perhaps late seventeenth century and to east c.1780. Original bridge was ten feet wide, early widening added two feet and later widening added same width again as original bridge. Formerly in use as vehicular bridge, now bypassed and in use as pedestrian bridge. Well preserved wicker centring to soffits of earliest part, and partly hidden arch ring towards west side of bridge, is of irregular voussoirs. Rubble stone walls, piers and parapet walls. Piers apparently refaced in squared limestone blocks, perhaps at time of latest work. Segmental arches to east elevation with cut-stone voussoirs and dressed stone V-cutwaters. Pointed round and segmental to west elevation.
