The National Monuments Service's description
Single-span, segmental-arched road bridge over Glenborbry River. No bridge shown here in drawing of 1600 siege of Glin castle but a bridge is shown here in Down Survey map. This was probably the 'ancient bridge' mentioned by Lewis (1837, 73). Present structure of mid-19th century appearance and must have replaced latter bridge.
