Description:
A narrow causeway formed by seven arches dating from the late seventeenth or early eighteen century. It served as a pack-horse bridge for the carriage of aggregate from Bearmount Quarry to Trim. The effort to restore this significant piece of industrial heritage has been championed by Scurlogstown Olympiad, a local community organization.
