Why it mattered
Dunsandle — CARROWREVAGH, DUNSANDLE matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A bridge on the "new" avenue cut through the Dunsandle estate by Denis St. George Daly (1810-93). The bridge, its elegant arch spanning the Craughwell River, displays robust rock faced stone work and originally featured Classically-detailed balustrades on both sides: one balustrade was damaged by collision and replaced with concrete block. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
