Butlersbridge (), also '''Butler's Bridge''', is a village in County Cavan in Ireland, north of Cavan town just off the N3 national primary road. It was previously a through-point on the N3, but was bypassed in 1999. The bridge in the village crosses the River Annalee, a tributary of the River Erne. Butlersbridge Church is dedicated to the local St. Aiden. It is about via the N54 to the border with County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
==History== The history of the Butlersbridge dates back around 6000 years to the Neolithic when farming arrived. The area fell within the domains of the O’Reilly clan until the Plantation of Ulster started in the early 17th Century which resulted in the O'Reillys having their lands confiscated. The lands around Butlersbridge were given to an English tenant called Sir Stephen Butler, after whom the town is named.
