What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1869, carrying road over Ennis-Athenry railway line. Rock-faced rusticated walls and abutments. Elliptical arch with rusticated tooled voussoirs with margins, and ashlar soffit. Dressed copings to abutments. Recent concrete copings added to parapet walls.
Despite having undergone recent renovations for the impending reuse of the railway line, this bridge nevertheless retains much of its original form and character. Its elliptical arch and abutments as well as decorative features, such as tooled limestone edges, are testament to the skill involved in stone-working in the mid-nineteenth century.

Explorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.

Explorer Tom Shanclogh Glebe House in Kilmacduagh, Galway is part of a monastery but acts like a posh guest house. A fiddler played there all night and probably broke the silence twice over. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Explorer Tom Templemore or Cathedral in Kilmacduagh is older than your excuses and twice as stubborn. It kept its independence when everyone else caved. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
