Ardara Bridge at Cadamstown is of great architectural importance, being one of only a handful of such bridges in the country. The high arch spanning the Silver River at Cadamstown is breathtaking in its delicate skill and is a fine monument to the craftsmanship of Irish masons and builders working with local stone in the Slieve Blooms. When was this bridge built? We do not know. Tobias Chambers mentions the bridge in his history of the area in 1688, when he recorded Hugh O Neill was marching south in 1601.

A fabulous old bridge Alan and a great historical commentary. A wonderful construction: you really do have to hand it to the builders who turned out these masterpieces.

Great shot,

Best Regards,
