What is recorded here

Eight-arch limestone road bridge over River Suir, built c.1410, rebuilt 1626, retaining elements of earlier bridge, and widened c.1750. Rubble walls, pointed-segmental arches with roughly cut voussoirs and V-shaped cut-waters on the upstream side and with round-headed arches downstream. Splayed caps to piers. Stone parapet and abutment walls. Inscription of 1626 referring to rebuilding of bridge, with armorial carving, at northwestern end of bridge.

A finely-built road bridge, incorporating fabric from the fifteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Holycross Bridge is sited at an important crossing point, within a historic precinct around the abbey. It makes a positive contribution to the village, forming an attractive approach over the River Suir. It contains a fine armorial plaque at its western end commemorating the rebuilding of the structure in 1626.
