Rookwood Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Nine-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1725, over River Suck at border of counties Galway and Roscommon. One arch is flood arch. Walls of random rubble with small stones suggesting use of field stone and therefore of possible early eighteenth-century date. Round arches with roughly-cut voussoirs, with cutwaters to south side reaching level of arch heads. Copings of roughly squared stones laid flat. Shallow pedestrian refuges to each end and centre of bridge.

This is a very fine early eighteenth-century bridge which has exceptionally large cutwaters and many arches. The refuges are unusual, being so shallow as to be impractical. The bridge is very well preserved.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
