Dripsey Castle Bridge is situated 1.34 km (0.83 mi) north-west of Dripsey village and derives its name from nearby Dripsey Castle.[1] Depicted on both the 1841 and 1901 surveyed OS maps, it spans a section of the Delehinagh River. The bridge is located at the meeting point of Carrignamuck and Meeshal townlands,[2] and lies within the civil parish of Magourney and Catholic parish of Aghabullogue.

In the Ordnance Survey name book of c. 1840, it is referred to as a small stone bridge, one-eight of a mile to the south-west of Hayfield House. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as a triple-arch humpback road bridge built c. 1780. It has rubble stone walls, concrete capping to the parapet, arches with dressed stone voussoirs, and v-shaped cutwaters on its east and west elevations.[1]
