Single-arch railway bridge, built c. 1862, over the Patrickswell to Charleville railway line. Coursed rock-faced limestone walls and parapets, with rock-faced voussoirs to segmental-headed arches, and having cut limestone copings to parapet. Ashlar limestone to soffit. Rubble limestone approach walls to bridge terminating in square-profile piers.
This bridge is a notable example of railway engineering and construction. It was on the Charleville and Patrickswell branch of the Great Southern and Western Railway Line. The rock-faced limestone walls contrast with the cut limestone copings to create textural variation in the bridge's appearance. The bridge forms part of a group of structures associated with the now disused railway station.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corrabul claims to be older than the hills, which is a bold move for a dirt circle. It looks like someone drew a perfect O in the grass and forgot to erase it. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Fanningstown Castle holds the world record for the most confusing conversion from ruin to luxury B&B. You’d think the ghosts would be annoyed by the air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
