Appraisal
Early nineteenth century bridge of solid limestone construction, exhibiting carved keystones in both local Cork red sandstone and limestone. The text inscribed is "Lacken Roe Bridge 1811". This structure serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills at this time.
