Aghavrin Clapper Bridge straddles the townlands of Aghavrin and Shanavagha, at the eastern end of Mullinhassig Wood & Waterfalls, and is located west of ''Coachford'' village. Clapper bridges are composed of a series of stone piers or blocks, which support slabs, so as to form bridges. The word 'clapper' is derived from the Latin ''claperium'', a 'pile of stones'. This bridge is depicted on both the 1841 and 1901 surveyed OS maps, and appears to have been in use for many years, as a crossing point over the River Glashagarriff (''Glaise Gharbh'' in Irish language meaning 'rough rivulet'). It collapsed in recent times due to flood damage. ==See also== *Aghavrin (townland) *Aghavrin House *Aghavrin Cottage *Aghavrin Mass Rock *Crooke's Castle, Aghavrin *St Olan's, Aghavrin *Mullinhassig Wood & Waterfalls, Aghavrin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aghavrin Clapper Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
