Torc New Br.

A road bridge (Wth 6.2m; long axis E-W) spanning the Owengarriff River. It is built of random rubble limestone and a single segmental arch (span 7.5m) with roughly shaped voussoirs spans the river. A semicircular dry arch (span 2m) on the E bank appears to have been intended as a pedestrian passageway; the remains of iron gate hinges were noted on the upstream side of the arch. Torc Old Bridge (KE074-037----) is c. 1km to the S. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
