Kilnap Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Cork, Ireland
The eight-arch Kilnap Viaduct spans across the Glennamought River and Mallow Road, constructed with rock-faced limestone piers and squared coursed spandrels.
Built in 1845 under William Dargan's supervision, the viaduct formed an essential part of the Great Southern & Western Railway line connecting Dublin to Cork.
The viaduct represents Ireland's industrial heritage, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and skilled masonry work of 19th-century railway construction.
Standing 90 feet high and stretching 420 feet in length, the viaduct remains operational today as part of the Dublin-Cork railway line.
The structure features round-headed arches with limestone voussoirs and ashlar limestone vaults, protected by Cork City Council for its architectural merit.
