County boundary bridge (OF008-013---) associated with Belview House and mill complex located 170m S of the bridge and probably dates to the late 18th century. The present stone bridge which traverses the River Brosna connects county Offaly to Westmeath and may have replaced an earlier bridge as in the 17th century Lismoyny was described as the 'chief entrance into Fercall' by the Lord Deputy Mountjoy in 1601 (Cal. S.P. Ire. 1600-1601, 203-264).
