Why it mattered
Crossboyne Bridge matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A narrow bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of Crossboyne: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824). This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
