Two-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, c.1750. Irregular coursed squared rubble stone walls with cut-stone triangular cut-waters to pier, rubble stone buttress, and squared limestone rounded coping to parapets. Pair of round arches with cut-limestone voussoirs, and squared limestone soffits having remains of render over. Sited spanning tributary of Kings River with grass banks to river.
A small-scale bridge representing an important artefact of the mid eighteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Kilkenny. The traditional construction in locally-sourced limestone with dressed accents displaying good quality craftsmanship serves to assimilate the bridge attractively into the surrounding rural landscape.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ennisnag has a hidden message in its stones that just says 'Please stop digging' if you read it backwards. The church was demolished to build another church, which is peak irony. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Graveslab in EnnisnagGraveslab · 55 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveslab in Ennisnag is playing hard to get, mate. It’s got grooves for a brass plaque that vanished ages ago. Rumor has it they nearly swapped it for a horse. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom Ennisnag Bridge in Cotterellsbooly is doing its best to look elegant while you cross it. Legend says a dance once got so wild here that the river still shuffles to avoid the spot. Look up, the best

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in Kilkenny imagines a twin across the sea, probably wearing a silly hat. It’s just a big tree with a rich inner life. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
