What is recorded here
According to the Urban Survey (Bradley et. al. 1985, 103) the bridge may have been a factor which influenced the location of the town of Kilbeggan. It is first referred to by Piers (1981, 84) in 1682 who described it then as 'an ancient bridge…now of late repaired, of lime and stone'. The present bridge over the River Brosna is modern.
