What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone bridge carrying road over Nenagh River, built c.1830, with segmental arches, and having triangular cut-waters to south elevation. Rusticated limestone walls and parapet with dressed limestone coping, string course, cut-waters and voussoirs and with pilasters to ends of bridge. Some brick repairs to soffits.

The well-carved masonry and variety of finishes to this bridge are evidence of the high-quality craftsmanship involved. The walls of the pilasters are carved in a particularly pronounced rustication typical of the nineteenth century. The unusually long parapet walls create a sense of anticipation.
