Historic building in Inistioge, County Kilkenny

What is recorded here

Historic building in Inistioge is a little bridge thought to have been meant for a house over the river, a bold way to settle an argument about where to live. You take that bank, love. I’ll take this one. We’ll meet in the kitchen.

Single-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, c.1800. Random rubble stone walls. Single segmental arch with cut-stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having remains of render over. Sited spanning tributary of River Nore with random rubble stone retaining walls to river having sections of stone cobbling to river bed.

A small-scale artefact of the civil engineering heritage of Inistioge representing a pleasant, if somewhat obscure feature of the townscape: the bridge is further distinguished as it is believed to have been intended as a platform carrying a house over the River Nore.
