What is recorded here
Bridge in Aghafad has little stone steps sticking out of its parapet, a thoughtful provision for anyone who finds crossing a river too straightforward. You can go over the bridge, or over the side of the bridge, depending on how much your mother needs to worry.
Double-arch stone bridge carrying road over Longfield River built c.1820. Round arches having roughly dressed voussoirs. Rubble stone walls, soffits and copings to parapets. Stone V-cutwaters to both elevations. Projecting stepping stones to both sides of south-east parapet to south-east bank.
Ballymackney Bridge is a traditionally-constructed bridge in unrefined locally-sourced stone resulting in an appealing textured visual effect assimilating pleasantly into the surrounding landscape and contributing to the rich built heritage of Ballymackney. Well constructed and still in use, it provides important infrastructure to the locality. The projecting steps to allow climbing are an unusual and interesting feature.
