The present bridge at Milltown occupies the site of an earlier bridge that spanned the river Dodder. It is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) map.This earlier was replaced by one of granite in relatively recent past. This bridge spans the River Dodder from the present Milltown Bridge. Both the central pier and its two abutments are founded on rock. Built of rubble masonry, randomly coursed with well cut ashlar blocks. The arches are round with a cut-water on the S side. Along the parapet is a barrel-vaulted machiolation type step out. The parapets were repaired in the mid 18th century and further repairs undertaken in 1973 (Ball 1903, 2, 110-111; O'Keefe & Simington 1991, 211-214). Compiled by Geraldine Stout
