Place & story

A low profile above a tall crossing

Templemichael Bridge spans the Glashaboy River between Templemichael and Coole East. The architectural inventory dates it to about 1820. Three segmental arches have roughly dressed stone surrounds, with triangular cutwaters facing both upstream and downstream. Upright stones cap the parapets. Although the bridge appears long and low from the winding approach roads, the survey emphasises the height of the crossing over the valley below. [2]
