The National Monuments Service's description
The annals record a bridge over the Glendasan river which was swept away in the great flood of 1177. A new bridge, opposite the main entrance to the monastic 'city', possibly on the site of the old bridge, was built shortly before 1873 (Barrow 1992, 28).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
