Description
Two-arch road bridge, built c.1815, over River Suir, with rubble limestone walls brought to courses, having cut limestone coping to parapet walls. V-cut-waters to upstream and downstream elevations. Segmental arches with cut limestone voussoirs.
Appraisal
This road bridge is a significant part of the architectural heritage of Clonmel and its surroundings. The rubble stone walls, cut-stone voussoirs, cut-waters and coping were clearly executed by skilled craftsmen and the large spans are evidence of quality engineering.
