Stoneyford Bridge, Islandkelly

Located on the Ballypitmave Road to the west of Stoneyford village, the Stoneyford Bridge carries the aforementioned road over the Stoneyford River. It also acts as a natural boundary between the townlands of Ballypitmave and Islandkelly. The Ordnance Survey memoirs for the area, which were compiled between 1832 and 1838, suggest that the bridge was first constructed in the early 18th century and widened by some feet in 1831. It was described as being built of whimstone. http://www.glenavyhistory.com/stoneyford_village.html
