The National Monuments Service's description
The 'old bridge' marked on the 1841 and 1909 editions 6-inch maps may have been built on the site of an earlier bridge which is marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map; no trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
