The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

This bridge spans the county boundary between Leitrim and Cavan. A bridge is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Carrigallen barony connecting Tumanahan (22) (Woodford) with Co. Cavan, close to the castle (LE026-001002-). The precise location of the bridge is not known, but the Ballinamore & Ballyconnell canal will have removed all evidence of a bridge close to the house. The canal has cut off a loop of the river extending N and the bridge may have been here. Cross-reference with LE026-001004- See the attached view from the Down Survey parish map (N at left) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 717).
