Newtown, bridge in County Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge over river, built c.1720. Rubble stone walls with remains of some ashlar voussoirs. Remains of a rubble limestone parapet wall to the east side.

This bridge is unusual as the road sits directly on the arch below without a surface layer. The bridge is located at the end of the original lane from Newtown House to the bridge at Mahonstown. It forms part of a group with the related structures in the demesne. It may contain material of a pre-1700 date.
