What is recorded here

This bridge spans the county boundary between Leitrim and Cavan.  A bridge is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Carrigallen barony connecting Tumanahan (22) (Woodford) with Co. Cavan, close to the castle (LE026-001002-). The precise location of the bridge is not known, but the Ballinamore & Ballyconnell canal will have removed all evidence of a bridge close to the house. The canal has cut off a loop of the river extending N and the bridge may have been here.  Cross-reference with LE026-001004-  See the attached view from the Down Survey parish map (N at left) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 717).  Compiled by: Michael Moore
