What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone road bridge, built c.1800, with stone weir to downstream side. Limestone dressing to arches and triangular cutwaters. Cast-iron railings to parapet. The northern arch is no longer in use.
This well maintained stone bridge is enhanced by its setting within a small public park and is an interesting part of Kilmainham Wood's architectural heritage. The variations in the limestone dressings create textural interest. The stone parapet has been replaced by cast-iron railings.

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Eden is guarding a secret: a curse on anyone who forgets to wave at the spire. If you don’t, your phone dies instantly. Bring wellies and a friendly hello.

Explorer Tom European Yew in Meath is a real diva, probably planning to buy a yacht if it hits the lotto. It just stands there looking smug and ancient. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Meath would tell a teenager that the 1800s were basically just a really long, damp argument with no Wi-Fi. It’s been standing there judging everyone since then. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
