Bridge Abutments are four pair of historic earthen bridge abutments located in Congaree National Park near Hopkins, Richland County, South Carolina. They were built by settlers (possibly Isaac Huger) in the 1780s in the Congaree Swamp to provide a means of transporting produce and livestock to markets in cities, such as Charleston. They vary in size from 5-to-10-feet high and 10-to-15-feet wide.[2][3]
