What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge, built c.1780, spanning tributary of Ballynacarriga Lough. Round-headed arches with roughly dressed limestone voussoirs and exposed rubble limestone soffits, springing from rubble stone piers with rubble limestone walls spandrels and parapets with rendered copings. Dry arches to south, with rubble limestone enclosing wall.
This well-executed bridge, located on the western approach to the village of Ballynacarriga, is a notable landmark in the landscape. It forms a mutually complimentary picturesque grouping with Ballynacarriga Castle and the former Rock Castle Mill.

Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 41 yd

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.

Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 59 yd

Explorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.

Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga (carbery East (eastern Div.) By.)Sheela-na-gig · 79 yd

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga is staring out from a castle wall. She’d tell you secrets after a few pints. Go in good boots and better humour for this one.

post box134 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Ballynacarriga is a tiny cast-iron legend from around 1935! It’s got that 'P & T' emblem that tells you it’s post-British rule. A little piece of street furniture history for you to spot!

water pump145 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Ballynacarriga has an elegantly-curved handle that looks like it’s ready for a dance-off. It’s a reminder of life before mains water, which was basically just hope and elbow grease. Find the wonki-est angle and pretend you’re pumping your heart out for it.

GallaunStanding stone · 913 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Gallaun in Bunanumera is lying flat on its back in the pasture. It’s rectangular and prostrate, so it’s not doing much these days. Give it a gentle nudge if you’re feeling brave, but probably don’t.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dunmanway North has a family tree that’s mostly made up of rumours and one very confused cousin who moved away. It’s got that mysterious aura that makes you wonder if it’s hiding something or just really bad at small talk. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
