What is recorded here

Single-span limestone masonry road bridge over Aherlow River, built in 1845, having segmental arch with cut-stone voussoirs, rock-faced keystones and snecked roughly dressed walls. Carved limestone date plaque to south parapet.
This slightly humpbacked road bridge was built by Samuel Jones, who designed a number of bridges in South Tipperary. The bridge is solidly constructed with roughly dressed limestone masonry walls. The plaque is finely carved and is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the mid-nineteenth century.
