The National Monuments Service's description
The Civil Survey (1654-6) describes 'the fford called O Hogans mill' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 143). It is likely that this ford (TN020-034001-) is at the location described as 'Hogan's Pass' on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1954) ed. OS 6-inch map. A bridge called 'Hogan's Pass Bridge' is now located at the fording point. It is a small hump-backed road bridge (Wth 6.3m; wall T 0.48m) over the river consisting of a single segmental arch with rough cut voussoirs. Bridge widened to S, this is visible via straight joint on underside of vault, bridge originally measured four meters wide.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
