Sixmile Bridge, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Sixmile Bridge in Friarstown South gets across the Camoge in two arches, which is wonderfully brisk work for a name promising six miles. That's an Irish uncle giving directions: an epic journey in the telling, and you're already on the other side.

Double-arch road bridge, built c. 1800, carrying a road over the River Camoge. Rubble limestone walls with render copings to parapets. Round-headed arches with cut limestone voussoirs. U-cutwaters.

This large stone bridge is a fine example of the quality of workmanship during the nineteenth century. It adds interest to the surrounding landscape.
