About Old Bridge
The National Inventory rates Old Bridge Regional, one of 237 in Clonmel. Its record dates Old Bridge to 1500–1770. 114 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
The design of this bridge shows evidence of skilled engineering and well-crafted stonework, as seen in the cut-stone voussoirs and cutwaters. The site was bridged in the medieval period and the present structure, connecting the walled town to the north and Suir Island to the south, contains early fabric.

Questions about Old Bridge
Is Old Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 22117113).
Can you visit Old Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Old Bridge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1500–1770.
Is Old Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
