What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone bridge, built c.1780, carrying road over stream. Round arches with dressed stone voussoirs and rubble stone soffits. Dressed stone V-cutwaters having render capping to both elevations. Rubble stone walls and parapet walls, rubble coping stones to parapets.
The narrow arches and tall V-cutwaters on this bridge are indicative of its early date. Simple but well-composed, it is a good example of modest engineering feats which contributed to the overall growth of the road system in Ireland throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The large rubble stones to the parapet walls add interest to the road.

Explorer Tom Mill in Tullyrain is just standing there, empty inside but still pretending it’s grinding corn for the neighbours. The wind keeps picking on it because it forgot to put its machinery back after that one big flax day. Bring a flask and pretend you’re an industrialist who lost his fortune here recently.

Explorer Tom Portal tomb in Lennan is perched on a drumlin ridge, looking slightly tipsy from the wind. If it could order at a chipper, it’d just want a stone and some silence. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
