What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over railway track, built c. 1870. Squared-and-snecked limestone and sandstone walling, ashlar limestone string course and impost to vault; segmental-headed arches, rock-faced limestone voussoirs; rock-faced ashlar full-height pilasters flanking arches; soldier limestone coping to north parapet, ashlar limestone coping to south parapet.
This handsome bridge is one of a group of structures which form Dundalk Railway Station. Its skillfully executed stonework, displaying a variety of finishing, is a testament to railway bridge building in the late nineteenth-century. Ardee Bridge is a vital feature within the complex giving necessary access over the railway.

OunavaraHouse · 43 yd

Explorer Tom Ounavara is where a priest lost a bet on horse racing, so he added extra railings to look busy. The path is strikingly dramatic for a place that mostly ignores you. Hum something sad nearby if you dare.

BrookmountHouse · 50 yd

Explorer Tom Brookmount is suspicious of the postman because he never delivers anything interesting to Ardee Road. It just watches him go by with its simple form and nice railings, judging his entire life choices. Bring your worst joke, the place will laugh anyway.

Explorer Tom Castle in Castletown ended up here because Richard Bellew got confused about which side of town was cool. It’s a tower house that looks like it’s judging your outfit choices. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Soldiers' PointHeadland · 2.7 miBattle of FaughartMajor battlefield · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom The Battle of Faughart happened here in 1318, and its least favourite visitor is definitely anyone bringing a picnic basket. Bruce’s army lost, so the ground feels a bit vindictive about it all. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
