What is recorded here

Seven-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1800, over Abbert River. Round arches with rubble voussoirs to arch rings, random rubble to spandrels. Single triangular and semi-circular cutwaters to north-east face with cement coping with pipe inlaid. Random rubble parapet with flat rubble coping. Area of repair to north-west face, cut-stone voussoirs to northern two arches, squared and snecked limestone infill to spandrel panels and parapet, flat cut-stone coping. Set on N63 with random rubble walls to adjacent fields.
This early nineteenth-century road bridge forms an imposing feature of the N63 road spanning the River Abbert near Abbeyknockmoy. There is evidence of early repairs and extensions as the road network throughout the county was improved. Its simple detailing exhibits evidence of local craftsmanship and materials and exhibits good quality traditional stone masonry.
