What is recorded here
Located on the N bank of the River Boyne at a point where it begins to change from a NW-SE direction to a WSW-ENE direction. A channel of the river (L c. 200m), no longer visible but depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map, cut off the bend of the river and created a little island which was accessed by this bridge. It is a single arch (Wth 4.7m; present H 2.6m; T 2.2m) of quarried limestone but neither outer face of the arch survives. The date is unknown, but the channel might have been cut to avoid weirs in the main river.
