What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone bridge, built 1862, carrying road over Cork/Cobh railway line. Coursed rubble stone walls with rusticated stone stringcourse and rubble stone copings to parapet walls. Elliptical arch with rusticated voussoirs.
The railway bridge is solidly constructed with roughly dressed limestone masonry walls. The dressings are well carved and are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. It serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the mid nineteenth century.

post box56 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Ringacoltig: A modest cast-iron box with a crown on top is acting like royalty. It’s probably waiting for a letter from Queen Victoria apologising for the weather. Print your love notes and drop them in, mate.

Trellis CottageHouse · 83 yd

Explorer Tom Trellis Cottage in Ringacoltig is an Arts and Crafts style beauty from the late nineteenth century. It’s got a verandah and all sorts of window types that make the façade look really lively. It even has a gate lodge, so very proper suburban living.

Martello Tower1105 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
