Description
Batty Moss Railway Viaduct is a railway viaduct built between 1870 and 1874, designed by engineer J Crossley. It is constructed from rockfaced stone and brick and features 24 segmental arches supported by battered piers. Some of these piers have been cased in concrete, while others are reinforced with iron straps. The viaduct reaches a height of 104 feet at its highest point, making it the largest and most impressive of the viaducts along the Settle-Carlisle line of the Midland Railway. It is also known as Ribblehead Viaduct.
Additionally, the Ribblehead railway construction camp and a prehistoric field system nearby are designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. While the viaduct itself is not included in this scheduling, the ground surrounding its foundations, where remnants of construction activities may be found, is included.
