The National Monuments Service's description
In 1682 Sir Henry Piers of Tristernagh described the route of the River Gaine and the mills and bridges along its route. He wrote the following about the bridge at Multyfarnham; 'it passeth to Multifornan, where it falleth under another large bridge; thence to a mill (WM006-076----), whence immediately it watereth the ground of the late Friery of Multifernan (WM006-058----)' (Vallancey 1786, 6).
