    There is a similar looking thing in Donegal, used as a "fowlhouse". See No. 6 at - www.carrowkeel.com/sites/donegal/malin-more.html

    The title in the catalogue is Megalithic Tomb, Burren - 3 negs, Killinagh, Co. Cavan.

    Which leads me to this page at megalithicireland: Burren, Cavan. Calf House, Portal Tomb

    Tombview

    It has a minimal wikipedia page which says it is from the Neolithic, so the date is no earlier than 3000 BCE.

    Niall McAuley That makes a lot more sense. Mary

    It is in Cavan Burren Park, with marked trails and an interpretive centre, about 50 mins drive from Sligo or Carrick-on-Shannon.

    For once the modern idea of a tourist attraction matches the 1940s Irish Tourist Association view.

    Flickr is sometimes neolithically amazing!

    Situations Vacant, Freeman's journal, May 3rd 1892: DRESSMAKING; wanted a first class Dressmaker, R. C.; must be able to cut and fit well, and take entire charge of workroom; none but competent person need apply; state references and lowest salary. Leonard Brothers, Belturbet.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Thank you very much! Now both photos are on our Flickr Map.

    John Spooner So 1899 is not wildly out then? And I'm assuming R.C. was Roman Catholic - you wouldn't specify religion in an ad nowadays!
  • John Spooner said:
    In April 1894 they were looking for a 'stylish Millener, R.C. and good Saleswoman'' The ad for a dressmaker appeared again in Agust 1894, so presumably the successful applicant in 1892 had moved to pastures new. Still expanding in January 1897 DRESSES; Leonard Bros, Belturbet, require a pushing Salesman, RC, of good appearance and address, for their Dress Department; give full particulars at once. Address 8502, Freeman Office.

    There is a Royal Plate version with less blur - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000319443 - which was used in this online book, 'Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful' Ed. Walter Hutchinson, 1920. See page 361 -
    archive.org/details/hutchinsonsbrita01hutc/page/360/mode/2up

    Which doesn't help with the date.

    Not 100% sure this is the same bridge.

    I see it on the unlinkable 25" map, which is here on Google Maps, in what is now Dún a Rí Forest park.

    Yes, there it is on the 6" too.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The NIAH was a reference to a Well at this spot, but the associated info is not online. No date for the bridge.

    Class: Well

    Townland: CABRA

    Scheduled for inclusion in the next revision of the RMP: Yes

    No streetview of the bridge, but here is a photosphere nearby showing steps and a sign for Wishing Well
