Laney Bridge, County Cork | Discover Alone

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Four-arch road bridge spanning River Laney, built c.1810. Rubble stone walls with roughly dressed voussoirs to segmental-headed arches. Roughly dressed rubble stone parapet having solider capping. V-cutwaters to up (north-east) and downstream (south-west) elevations of coursed stone piers. Weir to downstream elevation.

A well-proportioned bridge which retains the original profile of its arches and cutwaters. Located adjacent to Bealick Mill, together bridge and mill form a picturesque group. Carrying substantially more and heavier traffic than its original designers could have imagined, it stands as a testament to the skill of those involved in its construction.

Bealick MillMill (water) · 69 yd

Explorer Tom Bealick Mill in Bealick is spinning its wheels and pretending it's still grinding corn from the Napoleonic wars. The Harding family built it late eighteenth century, but I bet they were just bored. Show me your best mill face!

Bealick Mill (Corn)Mill, corn · 70 yd

Explorer Tom Bealick Mill (Corn) is on the river bank, which means it's always getting wet socks if you try to touch it. There's a hidden treasure here that's definitely a biscuit tin from 1974 left by a confused grandparent. Have a nosey, politely, and don't scare off the local history buffs.

Ancient Burial (Site of)Cist · 952 yd

Explorer Tom Ancient Burial in Bealick is a tiny stone-lined cist that got examined by O'Kelly and found with an encrusted urn inside. It’s 0.5 meters long, which is barely bigger than a bread loaf, making the whole archaeological process feel like opening a very old lunchbox. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

St Bernards WellHoly well · 1023 yd

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well has cement steps and a plaque for a saint whose name sounds like a sneeze. People used to do rounds here on Palm Sunday while pretending they weren't sweaty. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 1231 yd

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1599 yd

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.

Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.
