Single-arched road bridge over tributary of the Camlin River/former millrace, built c. 1800. Round-headed arch with dressed limestone voussoirs. Squared rubble stone construction to spandrel walls, abutments and barrel. Located to the west of Ballinalee.
This simple but well-executed limestone bridge spans a mill stream, fed from the Camlin River and associated with a bleach and tuck mill in the early-nineteenth century, later in use as a saw mill (c. 1913), now demolished. It is a modest example of late eighteenth/early nineteenth-century craftsmanship, and is an integral element of the built heritage of the Kilshruley area. To the northeast of a larger bridge over the Camlin River (13401030).

Kilshruley ManorWeir · 301 yd

Explorer Tom Kilshruley Manor in Kilshruley is a weir pretending to be a manor. It ran water for a sawmill that’s long gone, so now it just stares blankly at the river like it’s buffering on a reality show. Stop the car, it's wo.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyreaghan was where a fiddler played all night without stopping. He never stopped until the sun came up and he realized he’d been dead. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Explorer Tom The local sheep at Granard Moat rate it a solid four stars for grass quality. Richard de Tuit built it in 1199 to fight rebels, but now it’s mostly a nap zone. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Granard MotteMotte-and-bailey castle remains · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Granard Motte would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'basically a long queue for nothing'. It's just a big mound pretending it remembers something important from the castle days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
