Bridge in Ballynacor, County Westmeath (WM013-063----)

Bridge

What is recorded here

A 16th century stone bridge spanning the River Deel was demolished in the late 1960s and replaced by a concrete bridge which now carries the N52 over the river. An armorial plaque (WM013-063001-) and an inscribed date-stone commemorating the construction of the bridge in 1584 by Sir John Bedlow (Bellew) and his wife Ismay Nugent has been inserted into the parapet wall of the concrete bridge. No surface remains visible of the 16th century bridge which appears to have been completely demolished.
