What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge, built c.1850, spanning former railway line. Segmental-headed arch having ashlar limestone voussoirs and roughly coursed dressed limestone soffit. Roughly coursed dressed limestone spandrels and parapets with snecked and tooled limestone block copings. Projecting dressed rubble limestone retaining walls flanking arch.
This robust road bridge was built in the mid nineteenth century in conjunction with the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway. It is an excellent example of the high quality craftsmanship that was employed in the construction of railway buildings at the time and is a reminder of the extent of the rail network in the past.

Rag BridgeBridge · 492 yd

Explorer Tom Rag Bridge in Clogheenduane is built from local bits and bobs, probably by people who were definitely not wearing hard hats. It’s constantly in use, so whisper a prayer to the craftsmanship gods before you step on its raggy little shoulders.

Explorer Tom Farlistown House is sitting perpendicular to the road, which makes me think it’s trying to catch a train. It would get 'Finally Got It Right' on its tombstone. A go

Explorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Monterey Cypress2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Cork was briefly ruled by a goat named Steve who ate half its leaves. Steve is long gone, but the trauma remains. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at it.

Sunday WellSpring · 2.8 miDowndaniel Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Downdaniel Castle in Ardnaclug sits on the bank of the Bandon River. Half of it is standing to four storeys, which is impressive for an old tower house. The walls are thinner on one side, weirdly enough!

Sunday's WellSpring · 3.2 miGrave YardGraveyard · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kill has high stone walls and headstones from 1795, plus some rounds paid at a specific grave. It’s atop a hill with a church ruin just north of center. Make sure you tip your hat to Rev. Patrick Murphy!

White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom White Castle is named White Castle but looks more like 'Rusty Castle' given its age and location near Ardcloyne creek. Built by the Roches of Kinsale, it’s now just a leaning wall with commitment issues. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
