What is recorded here

Double-arch road bridge over river, built c.1780. Rubble stone walls and slightly pointed round arches having cut-stone voussoirs. Rubble stone copings to parapet walls. Cement gunnelling to soffits of arches.
A simple country bridge adding interest to the landscape. Its rubble stone walls are of textural interest, and the long approach walls create a sense of anticipation.

Castleturvin HouseHouse · 835 yd

Explorer Tom Castleturvin House is holding a grudge against the weather for ruining its elegant proportions. The limestone door looks like it wants to shake your hand, but don’t trust it too far. Bring a flask and prune.

Mellows CampusBuilding misc · 983 ydIndicatedTown defences · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Town defences in Athenry are just the bones of what used to keep people out or in. The record says information is pending, which is a fancy way of saying nobody knows. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Check mapCross, Market cross · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Check map in Athenry is actually a late fifteenth-century market cross in the town square. It’s been watching people haggle for centuries while pretending it doesn’t care about prices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party with local vendors.

Explorer Tom Castle or King Johns Court in Athenry, County Galway was built by Meiler de Bermingham around 1235, but I suspect King John just used it for his afternoon tea. It controls a ford over the River Clareen. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom The First Battle of Athenry involved a cow that tried to buy its way out with milk. History is mostly made up by people who were hungry. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Derrydonnell Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Derrydonnell Castle was home to Tibbot Mac Davuck Burke. Six storeys of pure attitude. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable to rush you around.
