Five-arch road bridge over River Aherlow, built c. 1800, with coursed rubble limestone walls having ashlar limestone voussoirs to round-headed arches and V-cutwaters to east. Centre arch rebuilt in concrete. Iron brackets inserted to east wall to carry pipe across river.
This slightly humpback bridge is a technical and engineering achievement. It is solidly constructed with heavy walls which are counterbalanced by the high, elegant arches with finely cut ashlar voussoirs. The polish of the cut stone creates an interesting and aesthetically pleasing textural contrast against the rubble limestone walls. The bridge serves as a reminder of the quality of engineering and local masons skills in the early nineteenth century.
