What is recorded here

According to Bradley et al. (1986a, vol. 1, 43), 'It is probable that there were quays on the Barrow from at least the late thirteenth century when the passage of boats from New Ross to Athy is first referred to (Mills 1905, 202). Although their precise location is not recorded, a likely location would appear to be S of the bridge (KD035-0220008-) possibly in the vicinity of the present Barrow Quay.'

Athy Methodist ChapelMeeting house · 35 ydBapty Maher'sHouse · 100 yd

Explorer Tom Bapty Maher’s in Athy is a pub that thinks it’s a grand dame but acts like a chaotic uncle. The house part from 1859 is still judging your pint order. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Town HallMuseum · 131 ydGraveslab in AthyGraveslab · 131 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveslab in Athy saw a horse race that ended in total chaos once. It’s just a cross shaft now, but the drama lingers in the stone. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Cross-slab in AthyCross-slab · 132 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This cross-slab used to be in a church, now it’s chilling in a museum. It’s got a fancy fleur-de-lys design that probably makes modern art students cry. If it taught history, it would be very condescending. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Ernest ShackletonMemorial · 147 ydWhites [sic] Castle, Police BarrackCastle, tower house · 233 yd

Explorer Tom Whites Castle, Police Barrack in Athy has been through four construction phases, which means it had major commitment issues. The river Barrow is right there, probably judging its paint job. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Explorer Tom Scots Pine here is having a go at being famous because some other pine got the credit years ago. It’s basically the cousin who shows up to weddings uninvited. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
