• TS083-022 Bridge
  Description

  Bridge spanning River Suir connecting Tipperary and Waterford (WA002-001----; Inventory No. 1733). According to local tradition it was built by Sir Thomas Osborne who died in 1713 (O'Keeffe and Simington 1931, 205). It would have facilitated access to the 17th-century Kincor Castle (WA002-002----) at Tikincor owned by the Osborne family from the 1650s till the 18th century and located 170m SE of the bridge. Power (ibid. 206) states that the bridge was erected in 1690 and that it was a private bridge with a gate in the middle until the mid-19th century. It is a narrow, humped-back bridge (dims. Wth 3.4m excluding parapets; 4.25m including parapets; L 79m). The bridge, originally of seven arches, now consists of six spans running N to S. The most northerly arch (Tipperary end) is a narrow segmental-headed arch, with flat, broad voussoirs, all sandstone. The next arch is a wide, round arch, widened in the mid-18th or early 19th-century with a tow-path underneath (O'Keeffe and Simington 1991, 205-6). The earlier date is more likely as it corresponds with the carved scroll keystone on either side of the arch. The next two spans have round arches and are similar in size. The next span is slightly narrower and lower and the S arch is smaller. All soffits have been recently rendered with concrete. There are four pointed cut-waters on the W (upstream) side. The parapets are 0.4-0.55m in width. The top of the parapet of the N half of the bridge has been capped with concrete - Tipperary County Council. The altered arch has machine cut voussoirs chamfered, the keystone is a carved scroll (mentioned above), the top is broken off, same on downstream side. The two next smaller central arches are also chamfered. The two most southerly arches and the most northerly arch are not chamfered. The wing-wall runs 19m on N side of bridge on W side of the road and also runs for some length on S side of the bridge on W side of road. The masonry has been recently repointed. Of the original piers all are less than 1.2m above the river bed and range in thickness from 3-4m (O'Keeffe and Simington 1991, 206).

• TS083-032 Bridge
  Description

  N bank of river Suir, across the river Anner where it meets the Suir. Hump-backed bridge (Wth 5.7m - including N parapet Wth 0.47m; L 18m, including stone work beyond arches) with three round-headed arches, higher central arch. Appears to be traces of wicker-centring under central arch. No parapet on S side, possibly was but has collapsed. Keystone and voussoirs on either side of S side of central arch have collapsed. Bridge has been widened as evidenced by a straight joint visible on the central and W arch from the NW bank. Close examination of underside of bridge not possible due to deep water and very steep banks. Two cutwaters on N side. Possible that the S side is original, in which case the extension to the N more that doubled the width of the bridge. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• WA002-001 Bridge
  Description

  A six-arch bridge spanning the River Suir into Co. Tipperary was built by Sir Thomas Osborne in the late 17th century. It was originally symmetrical with seven arches, but two were combined and the river deepened to provide a boat channel on the Tipperary side in the 18th century. There are four cutwaters on the central piers at the W (upstream) side. The carriageway is 3.4m wide (O'Keeffe and Simington 1991, 205-6). Cross-reference with TS083-022----. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 10 September 2010

• WA002-002 House - 17th century
  Description

  Situated on the floodplain of the River Suir. Built by Alexander Power during the reign of James I, it was owned by Richard Power FitzAlexander in 1640 (Simington 1942, 101) but the house passed to Sir Thomas Stanley and then to Sir Nicholas Osborne during the Cromwellian settlement. The Osborne family lived here until they moved to Newtown Anner, Co. Tipperary, in the late 18th century (de la Paor 1898; Morrissey 1909; O'Flanagan 1929, 54-5). This is a rectangular structure of three floors with an attic, and it has a four-bay W façade with two gables (ext. dims. 15.8m N-S; 9.2m E-W). A stairs tower (ext. dims. 5.3m N-S; 3.8m E-W) projects from the centre of the E wall. There are no internal divisions apart from one cross-wall at ground level placed towards the S gable. One garderobe chute is visible exiting on the external face of the N wall at the W end. There are small defensive windows of dressed sandstone at ground-floor level, except at W, and one lighting the stairs return has a musket loop. The upper floors have two- and three-light rectangular windows of dressed limestone with square hood-mouldings. The fireplaces number one on the ground floor in the N gable, two on the first floor in the N gable and E wall, four on the second floor where there is one on each wall, and one in the attic. They are provided with six plain chimneys, with another three chimneys over the stairs tower although two of these are false, and all rise to the same height. There is an external string course between the second floor and attic. The upper floors were supported by joists set directly into the walls. The house has been re-floored since its original abandonment, disregarding the original floor levels, and a large carriage entrance (Wth 2.85m) has been inserted in the W wall destroying the original doorway.
