• CV016-040 Bridge
  Description

  An eight-span limestone bridge repointed in more recent times, crossing the Annalee River, 650m NE of Ballyhaise village. Parapets are capped with large dressed coping stones. An almost illegible inscription on the S parapet gives the date 1705 for its erection. The bridge was rebuilt following its collapse in the early 19th century (local information) and a second inscription with the date 1822 refers to this rebuilding. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
