What is recorded here
Round-headed triple-arch road bridge, built c. 1820, over River Aherlow. Dressed limestone walls with cut limestone voussoirs to arches, having concrete reinforcement to middle arch. Cut limestone V-cutwaters to north-west (up-stream) elevation and cut-stone caps to parapets.
The simple form of this well-crafted road bridge is enhanced by the textural variation created by the dressed limestone walls and cut limestone voussoirs. This bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the early nineteenth century.
