What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over River Gaine, built c.1850. Constructed of squared limestone rubble with rusticated limestone voussoirs to arch and rusticated limestone coping to parapet walls. Located to east end of Multyfarnham Village adjacent to main entrance to Multyfarnham Abbey.
An attractive and robust road bridge which retains its early form and character. The rusticated limestone construction of the arch is a notable feature, typical of mid nineteenth-century engineering projects. This bridge remains an important and subtle component of the streetscape and makes a valuable contribution to the architectural heritage of the area

Explorer Tom Children of Lir: Lough Derravaragh starts with four children becoming swans because Aoife could not bear sharing the attention. That is not a family argument I want to referee. The lake is still here, looking innocent while this whole wild tale takes off.
