What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over stream, completed 1829. Sited spanning stream with unkempt embankments to stream.
A bridge representing an important component of the early nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of Achill Island with the architectural value of the composition, one recalling the Alexander Nimmo (1783-1832)-designed Glennanean Bridge (1829-30), Coill an Locháin [Cuillaloughaun] (see 31306601), confirmed by the "pointed" profile of the arch making a dramatic visual statement at a crossing over a minor stream 'scarcely to be tracked to the sea' (Barrow 1836, 32).

Explorer Tom Cross in Keel West has an imaginary twin across the sea who probably looks much better. This one just stands on an altar pretending to be mysterious and full of secrets. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Convent of the Sacred Heart in Keel East is guarding a legend about a giant who slept in the garden. The sisters probably just think he was a very large badger. Bring curiosity, leave your ego at the door.
