Castleroberts Br.

Castleroberts Bridge crossing the River Maigue was built in the late 18th century with fabric from a medieval church (LI021-132----) and castle (LI021-037----) located 330m to E. In 1865 it was recorded that 'The ruins of this [Castleroberts] church, and of part of the old castle, were pulled down for materials to build a bridge over the Maigue at Castle Roberts, about seventy or eighty years ago (c. 1785-95)' (Dunraven 1865, 270). In 1840 the Ordnance Survey described the bridge as consisting of '8 arches, built in 1795' (OSNB, 57). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 02 January 2019
