The National Monuments Service's description
A bridge spanned the E-W River Nier on the main road from Clonmel to Dungarvan until 1798 when the present road was built through Ballymacarbry to service the copper mines. Built by Sir Richard Boyle in the early 17th century at the lowest bridging point of the river, it was soon washed away but later rebuilt. It is marked as 'Site of Old Bridge' on the 1840 ed. of OS 6-inch map but no trace of it remains.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
