Cobbles in Gardens, County Kilkenny (12000086)

What is recorded here

Section of limestone cobbling, c.1875, with cut-limestone flagged wheel tracks.

An appealing, if subtle feature in the street scene representing a traditional method of paving using locally-sourced materials: the resulting pattern displays a pleasant character lacking in the modern coverings applied to roads and streets.
