Four-arch humpback road bridge over the River Loobagh with overflow arch, built c. 1800,with fabric dating from the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Rubble limestone walls dressed to east and west elevations, dressed parapet walls. Cut limestone voussoirs to segmental-headed arches. V-cutwaters to east elevation. Cut limestone copings to parapet walls.
An elegantly composed bridge, which forms an appealing feature on the River Loobagh. With fabric dating to the thirteenth century, this medieval bridge is of considerable importance within Kilmallock and is the main river crossing into the east of Kilmallock. The traditional construction in unrefined rubble stone serves to assimilate the bridge attractively into the surrounding landscape. The civil engineering heritage significance of the composition is identified by the construction of the arches, which have retained their original form and profile.

Explorer Tom Excavation in Kilmallock remembers a fiddler who played all night until his fingers bled. The wall next door is all he has left now. He probably wanted to play a jig, but got stuck in the mud. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you for long.

Explorer Tom The school in Kilmallock is detached from the street, which makes it feel like a diva. A cow once tried to buy it with a bucket of milk, but the deal fell through. Bring a pen pal, they’ll be thrilled to meet you.

Explorer Tom Ancient site in Kilmallock hosted a dance that went on until the sun came up. The medieval defences are taking a beating from new development plans. Sarah dug four pits and found out the wall was still there. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Memorial stone in Kilmallock ended up in the wrong place because someone misread the Latin script badly. It commemorates Anastacia Verdon, who definitely had better taste in shoes than you do. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

TombTomb, chest tomb · 131 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Tomb in Kilmallock was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably a guy who just really liked heavy stones. The figure of Death on the side panel looks bored out of his mind. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Explorer Tom Kings Castle got its name wrong because map makers were drunk, which is my theory anyway. It’s been Queen, King, and King John, basically an identity crisis in stone. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
