Ballyhoe Bridge

Triple-arch limestone bridge, dated 1818, carrying road north-south over River Lagan, on border of counties Monaghan and Meath. Segmental arches with cut-stone voussoirs, cut-stone piers and V-cutwaters on upstream (west) side. Later concrete bases to piers and cutwaters. Rubble stone soffits, walls, and parapet walls having some bush-hammered coping stones with chamfered edges. Date plaque to road elevation of west parapet wall.

This is well-constructed stone bridge with a date plaque indicating its longevity. The remaining large parapet blocks are particularly impressive. Similar in form to Tobermannan Bridge, the cut stone is evidence of skilled nineteenth-century stone masonry, and provides a pleasing textural contrast to the rubble stone walls. it is one of several bridges over the River Lagan that are of note as they span not just two counties, but two provinces.
