What is recorded here

Nine-arch hump back road bridge over river, extant 1838. Part ivy-covered walls centred on triangular cutwaters to piers to upriver (east) elevation having pyramidal capping with lichen-covered "saddleback" coping to parapets. Series of nine round or segmental arches between cast-iron "Pattress" tie plates with repointed voussoirs. Sited spanning Dalgan River with unkempt grass banks to river.

A narrow bridge representing an important component of the eighteenth-century civil engineering of south County Mayo: meanwhile, a discreet benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).

mill (water)2.7 mi

Explorer Tom This Mill in Lack smells like old flour, regret, and possibly a very damp sock, according to Tom. Three storeys high and partially demolished, it’s basically a skeleton that still thinks it’s strong. It's free, it's odd, and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
