The National Monuments Service's description
Spanning the Camlin River. Depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map of Clonbroney (NLI, MS 719). No visible surface trace survives but 'Soran Bridge' may have been built on or close to its site. This single-arch bridge dates from c. 1860. It replaced the earlier bridge that is shown on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and it is likely that it incorporates some of the fabric of that bridge (www.buildingsofireland.ie, Reg. 13304020, last accessed 26 March 2012).
