A disused causeway bridge, wedged between an old railway line and the modern N4 road, is about all that marks the spot. The real point of interest vanished long ago, or rather, it moved indoors. A Latin-inscribed stone, now held in Sligo County Museum, once commemorated a bridge built here in 1628, and it names not a lord or a bishop or a civic dignitary, but a woman: Maria, wife of a soldier called Roger Jones.

The inscription, recorded in the files of the Sligo Field Club, attributes the construction of the bridge to Maria Jones directly. That alone makes it a quietly unusual document. Seventeenth-century commemorative inscriptions in Ireland tend to credit men, particularly military men or landowners, and Roger Jones is identified here by his soldierly rank. Yet the bridge, apparently, was Maria's undertaking. No physical trace of that 1628 structure survives at the site; what stands in its place is a later causeway bridge of nineteenth-century appearance, its working life now also over. The Latin slab survived where the stonework did not, eventually making its way into the county museum's collection in Sligo town.

Visitors curious about the inscription itself will find it at Sligo County Museum rather than at Belladrihid. The valley site, for its part, retains a certain quiet geography, the small stream, the low ground, the sense of a crossing point that has mattered to people moving around the bay for centuries, even if the layers of that history are no longer legible in the landscape.
