Recorded monuments
- DU011-082 Bridge
Description
This bridge carries route L6 across the Broadmeadow river. It is on the old route to Drogheda and appears on Moll's map (1714). It has four segmental, almost semi-circular arches with a fifth dry arch to the south which historically carried an adjacent stream but now serves a footpath on the Roganstown Golf course. The bed of the river channel beneath the bridge has been paved with concrete and the lower portions of the bridge piers which stand in the water were cased in concrete probably during the 1950s under the Local Authority (works) Act. (Fingal Historic Bridges 2009, 91). The arches are built of roughly cut stones. The triangular upstream cut-waters are constructed of ashlar masonry and are a later addition. This bridge has been dated to the 16th-17th century (O'Keeffe & Simington 1991, 199-200). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 09 January 2015
