The municipal inventory links the Ponte de Arame de Padroselos to tin mining. Entry Po.27 describes iron, wood and a ruined condition, without supplying the survey date.
Ponte do Freixo, in Torneiro, formed part of the path between Cunhas and Torneiro. Entry Po.28 records granite and an absence of parapets. In Po.29, Ponte de Arames over the Beça appears with a concrete deck supported by five piers. These two entries are dated 20 March 2008.
These are three different references. The inventory reveals the memory of connections but does not confirm present conditions or suggest crossings.
