What is recorded here

Five-arch road bridge spanning Sullane River, built c.1830. Rubble stone walls having cut limestone stringcourse and cut limestone capping stones to parapet walls. Tooled limestone voussoirs to segmental-headed arches with prominent keystones. Carved limestone bowed cutwaters to up (north-west) and downstream (south-east) elevations. Weir to downstream elevation.

This bridge is a reminder of the high quality engineering achievements of the nineteenth century. The cut limestone voussoirs, string course and capping stones display the quality of local craftsmanship. The use of different materials creates textural variation.

Laney BridgeBridge · 259 yd

Explorer Tom Laney Bridge in Bealick is bragging about surviving storms that would’ve flattened a normal structure. It carries way more traffic than its original builders ever dreamed of, which is funny given the date. Ask it how it feels being a landmark for heavy trucks now.

Bealick MillMill (water) · 328 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!

St Bernards WellHoly well · 772 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.

Ancient Burial (Site of)Cist · 1128 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.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 1302 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 · 1670 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.
