The National Monuments Service's description
At the N end of Longford town (LF013-026----), spanning the Camlin River. Described in 1682 as ‘a Stone bridge lately built’ (Gillespie and Moran 1991, 210). No visible remains survive but the present bridge, a single-arched road bridge built c. 1819 and widened on its W side in 1993 (www.buildingsofireland.ie, Reg. 13008022, last accessed 26 March 2012), was probably built on its site.
