Recorded monuments
- WI030-006 Enclosure
Description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. Shown as an oval enclosure (diam. c. 46m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
Architectural heritage
- Rathdrum Mills, mill (water), 1850–1870 · Regional interest
Description
Detached multiple-bay part two, part three and part four-storey (all over basement) former corn mill complex, built c.1860 and now largely derelict. The complex is laid out roughly in an L-shaped formation with a two-storey gable-ended section to the west, (which was at one point much longer but which was largely demolished some time in the mid to later 1900s), and a four-storey gable-ended section to the east with a taller four-storey tower-like section with a pyramidal roof attached to its north-west corner. The various sections are all constructed in rubble with granite quoins and brick dressings to the openings, whilst the pitched (and pyramidal) roofs are slated. The entrances are now blocked up and the uniform flat-headed windows are now largely devoid of frames. The complex is set directly onto a roadside with a large open yard to the rear.
- Rathdrum Bridge, bridge, 1770–1790 · Regional interest
Description
Five-arch road bridge over the Avonmore River, built c.1780, but probably widened in the mid 19th century. The bridge is constructed in rubble but largely covered in ivy growth to the south side. Four of the arches are evenly spaced with that to the east end, a ‘flood arch’ is set further apart. The south side is markedly different than the north, with the arches to the south elliptical with rough voussoirs and plain piers, whilst those to the north are segmental with dressed voussoirs and piers with rounded breakwater, all suggesting the bridge has been widened to the north side. The central pier to the south side has a corbelled projection above arch level.
