Exterior Description And Setting

Historical Information

A bridge is shown here on the 1834 OS 6" map. It is explicitly captioned 'Feugh Br' on the 1857 and subsequent editions. Judging by its style, the present structure could be mid 19th century rebuild of an earlier one; alternatively, it might also date from the period 1820-40. The 1982 HMBB survey card and slide also note a small linteled culvert through which a drain discharges into the stream on the downstream left bank. This has been replaced with a concrete pipe. Primary sources: 1. OS 6" map, 1st edition 1834, Co Fermanagh sheet 40 (PRONI OS 6/4/40/1). 2. OS 6" map, 2nd edition 1857, Co Fermanagh sheet 40 (PRONI OS 6/4/40/2). 3. OS 6" map, 3rd edition 1907, Co Fermanagh sheet 40 (PRONI OS 6/4/40/3). 4. HMBB survey card, 1982.
