About Bridge Cottage
The National Inventory rates Bridge Cottage Regional, one of 5 in Dunkineely. Bridge Cottage dates from 1840–1900.
Despite some alterations and the loss of some original fabric to the openings, this well-maintained thatched vernacular house retains much of its early form and character, and is an appealing feature in the rural landscape to the north of Dunkineely.
