What is recorded here

Four-arch road bridge, built c. 1800, over River Aherlow, close to medieval Moor Abbey. Round arches with dressed limestone voussoirs. Random rubble and roughly coursed rubble limestone walls, having stepped dressed limestone V-cutwaters to west (up-stream) elevation. Smaller disused flood arch visible to north of east elevation.
This bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the early nineteenth century. The bridge is of solid rubble limestone construction, with finely executed voussoirs.
