Description
Single-arch sandstone road bridge, built c. 1870, with coursed rubble walls with render copings. Cut voussoirs to round-headed arches.
Appraisal
This bridge, which spans the Aherlow River, is distinguished by its tall arches and well cut limestone voussoirs, which provide chromatic variation against the sandstone walls. The bridge is an example of nineteenth-century craftsmanship. It is an important bridge as it acts as a boundary between Counties Tipperary South and Limerick.
