What is recorded here

Triple-arch limestone road bridge over Little Brosna River, built c.1860. Cut-stone walls having voussoirs, string courses, coursed limestone rubble parapets and U-shaped cut-waters to western, downstream, elevation. Lower limestone rubble walls extend from parapets along road.
A scenic bridge of good quality craftsmanship having wide spanning arches over the Little Brosna River and linking counties Tipperary and Offaly. It exhibits good masonry and fine, crisp joints and the construction of the arches is of technical and engineering merit. The juxtaposition of the bridge with Derrinsallow Mill forms a group of considerable quality.

Explorer Tom Derrinsallow Mill ended up in the wrong place because it got confused with the bridge next door. It’s all about that robust design that kept it standing even when the river was being dramatic. Give it a little wave and try not to imagine the water wheel spinning in your head.

Explorer Tom Bunrevan House had a matchmaker who thought asymmetry was a personality trait. John Skipton Mulvany designed it to look like it’s mid-sentence in an argument. Find the wonkiest bit and trace it with your finger for good luck!

Explorer Tom This Dawn Redwood in County Offaly is a dinosaur that survived an ice age to stand here. The local sheep probably think it’s just a fancy stick for rubbing their backs on. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and needs a tree fix.

Explorer Tom Clonony Castle in Clonony More is playing hard to get, hiding in its rock outcrop like a shy elf. The locals swear 'Clonony' means 'where the cows nap', which feels about right. I'm throwing a housewarming party there; bring your own cake and hope for the best.
