Caption: The 18th century stone bridge over the River Barrow at Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny, Ireland. The bridge was built in 1764-7 and damaged by Crown Forces in 1798 as they attempted to impede the progress of rebels from neighbouring County Carlow. The bridge is a seven-arch hump back road bridge. It has coursed rubble limestone walls centred on submerged triangular cutwaters to piers having cut-granite pyramidal capping with cut-granite coping to parapets.
