The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of the bridge crossing the Annagh River that is depicted on the Down Survey map of Clanwilliam Barony has not been identified (NLI, MS 718; Hib. Reg.). On this map the bridge is depicted spanning the Annagh River which marks the barony boundary with Owneybeg. The bridge was located N of the present Annagh Bridge and served as a crossing point between the townlands of Annagh and Knockanbaun.
