Single-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, built c. 1820. Carved limestone string course, cut stone piers and render copings to parapet walls. Round-headed arch with rusticated dressed stone voussoirs. Single-arched rubble limestone bridge to south-west having round-headed arch. Three-arched rubble limestone pedestrian bridge to south having round-headed arches, roughly dressed voussoirs, and V-cutwaters to north elevation.
Well designed and executed bridge visible from the path to the north along the river bank, bringing architectural interest to the landscape. Carefully designed and executed, the arch is evidence of the skill of the stonemasons and stonecutters involved in the construction. Neatly cut voussoirs and string course provide textural contrast to the rough rubble stone of the walls. One of a group of three stone bridges near the road junction, including curious triple-arched pedestrian bridge.

Explorer Tom A water pump with a lion’s head in Carrignavar? That’s not hydration, that’s a royal appointment. Best to give the beast a tip before you even think about drawing any water from its mane.

Children's playground101 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

GallánStanding stone · 253 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Gallán in Carrignavar has no visible trace, so it’s probably doing yoga or something when nobody’s looking. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 503 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Carrignavar is just a mound of rubble and a corner turret now. Daniel MacCarthy built it in 1616, but it has since collapsed into itself. I bet there are still arches hiding under all that mess.

Explorer Tom Tots to Teens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CarrignavarFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 598 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrignavar is now a playing field with no visible surface trace. Kids are probably running over its ancient foundations during PE class without a care. Dare you to say hello to it out loud, just in case it’s listening.

Standing stone in BallycaskinStanding stone · 641 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Ballycaskin is just a rumour that grew legs and hid in the pasture. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket, because finding it would cost you a fortune anyway.

Enclosure in Laharan (barrymore By.)Enclosure · 1109 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Laharan was levelled away so thoroughly it’s basically a rumor now. It would post a picture of its own dirt on social media with the caption 'Living my best life'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film, acting very confused.

Ardnabricka BridgeBridge · 1271 yd

Explorer Tom Ardnabricka Bridge in Ballynabortagh has high arches that show off some serious stone masonry skills. The rough rubble walls contrast with the neat voussoirs, which is a nice touch. Pretend it’s a gateway to something magical.

Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballynabortagh, County Cork has no trace, just pasture and mystery. I think the wind keeps picking on it because it’s jealous of how quiet it is. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to find something that isn’t really there.

Old Cemetery KilcullyMemorial · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Old Cemetery Kilcully has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Glanmire Heritage SocietyMemorial · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Glanmire Heritage Society has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
