In the Annals of the Four Masters, under the year 1360, it is recorded that 'a bridge of lime and stone was built by Cathal O'Conor across the river of Eas-dara' and 'Eas-dara' is equated in a footnote with Ballysadare (O'Donovan 1848, vol. 3, 619). According to O'Keeffe and Simington (1991, 28), this is the first reference in any annal to the erection of such a bridge in Gaelic Ireland. The exact location of this bridge is not known. Wood-Martin (1892, 200) noted that 'the present modern bridge [see SL020-268----] at Ballysadare is much higher up the stream than its predecessor; for the remains of an old bridge-perhaps that erected in 1360 or in 1586-was discovered when workmen were sinking foundations for the eel-house, which is situated just over the last fall made by the river before mingling its waters with the tide'.

A bridge over the Ballysadare River is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map (1654-57) at the town of Ballysadare. There are now no visible remains of this bridge. The present road bridge (on a NE-SW axis; Wth c. 6m) which is of 18th-century appearance is on the SW side of Ballysadare town. It has seven segmental arches (span c. 6m) increasing in size towards the centre with dressed voussoirs. The low pointed cutwaters have concrete tops. The core of the bridge is rendered and the arches are underpinned. The bridge has been recently widened with a cantilevered support and iron railing. An earlier bridge (SL020-249----) seems to have existed to NW. Also indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map (1654-57) is a mill (SL020-273----) on the E bank of the Ballysadare River and down stream from this bridge.
