What is recorded here
New Bridge in Killeany names the director and mason on its stone plaque, but introduces the people who paid as ‘the county’. Michael got his name in stone; everyone else got to point at it and say, ‘There’s your money, lads.’
Four-arch road bridge over river Nore, dated 1760, with triangular cut-waters and rubble stone parapets having inscribed plaque. Inscription reads : "1760/this bridge was/erected at the county/expense/Edward Brereton of/Spring Mount Esq/Director/Michael Dealy Mason".
