Single-arch rubble stone road bridge over stream, c.1800, with single-span section to east. Random rubble stone walls with rubble stone vertical coping to parapets. Single round arch with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having render over. Single flat span with dressed stone lintel. Sited spanning Ballyhale Stream with random rubble stone retaining wall to stream having rubble stone coping.
An attractive bridge representing an important component of the civil engineering heritage of Ballyhale. The juxtaposition of an arch and a span together with the construction in unrefined rubble stone all serve to produce a modest rustic quality in the composition that assimilates pleasantly into the surrounding landscape.

Explorer Tom Limegrove House in Ballyhale was once ruled by a goat who ate the curtains and demanded tribute in cheese. The outbuildings still look suspiciously like they’re waiting for the goat to return. Count the crows, then count agai

Graveyard in DerrynahinchGraveyard · 1310 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Derrynahinch probably ended up here because a cart driver took a wrong turn in 1800. He panicked, dumped the stones, and drove off without checking the map. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in Kilkenny imagines a twin across the sea, probably wearing a silly hat. It’s just a big tree with a rich inner life. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
