What is recorded here
Freestanding three-arch humpback bridge, built c.1780. The bridge is constructed in rubble field stone and has dressed granite voussoirs. The arches are semi-circular. The bridge carries the main road over the Derry Water River.
This simple late 18th century bridge is well preserved. A plaque (1960) commemorates 'THE BROTHERS PHILLIP AND PATRICK LACEY…WHO WERE SHOT AT THIS BRIDGE WHILE RETURNING FROM THE BATTLE OF VINEGAR HILL ON 21ST JUNE 1798'.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
