Place & story
An eighteenth-century crossing
The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records the single-arch road bridge under both Corlough and Knockmore. It dates the original structure to about 1770, with parapets altered in 1891. The latter date appears on an inscribed stone. An elliptical arch carries later masonry that does not quite line up with it: one parapet recedes at an angle while the opposite side projects beyond the arch. Long retaining walls accompany the road’s sharp turn beside the crossing. [2]
