The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Single-span, segmental-arched road bridge over Glenborbry River. No bridge shown here in drawing of 1600 siege of Glin castle but a bridge is shown here in Down Survey map. This was probably the 'ancient bridge' mentioned by Lewis (1837, 73). Present structure of mid-19th century appearance and must have replaced latter bridge.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI017-021
