About Derrycreevy Bridge
The National Inventory rates Derrycreevy Bridge Regional, one of 75 in Castleblayney. Its record dates Derrycreevy Bridge to 1740–1780. 5 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This is a reasonably well maintained example of late eighteenth-century bridge architecture although its width with no apparent extension evident, and high quality stone dressings suggests a later date closer to the early to mid-nineteenth century.

Is Derrycreevy Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
