    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 -

    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.

    the Catalogue says View of the house where Edgar Allen Poe grandparents lived, Toumeregan & Kildallon, Co. Cavan.

    Kildallan and Tomregan are both townlands in Cavan, but some distance (20km) apart.

    Wikipedia Their grandfather, David Poe, had emigrated from County Cavan, Ireland, around 1750., references a book Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography (1941):

    Dismissing as without foundation the mythical tales which connect Edgar Poe with noble families of Europe, it seems certain that his great-great-grandfather was David Poe, a tenant-farmer in Dring, in the parish of Kildallon and County Cavan, Ireland, who died in 1742. David's son, John Poe, emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1749 or 1750,(29) having married Jane McBride, daughter, it is [page 14:] possible, though not certain, of a clergyman, Reverend Robert McBride, and sister of an admiral of the Blue, John McBride. After living for a time in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, John Poe moved to Baltimore, where he died in 1756.

    John's eldest son, David, had been born in Ireland in 1742 or 1743. He carried on his business of making spinning wheels and clock reels, on Market Street in Baltimore from 1775.

    Dring townland is next to Kildallan, and I count maybe 10 possible houses on the 1830s 6", although that is 80 years after David Poe left.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Having eyeballed the Google aerial view of Dring, I do not think this ruin is still there. (Of course, it may never have been in the actual townland marked as Dring.)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    More Googling: "David Poe's will, dated August 25, 1742, described him as of 'Dring Parish of Kildallon, County Cavan, Farmer. In the old vestry book of Kildallon, he is mentioned as the overseer of roads in the parish. The ruin is of a substantial house, and Poe sounds like a Big Cheese, perhaps this is the building marked as Dring Ho. which was here: Streetview
