Place & story
A veranda cottage
A cottage dating from about 1850 stands above the road at Corries Cross. Its veranda rests on four granite Doric columns beneath a steep roof with a central gable. [2]
The crossroads post
A mid-nineteenth-century post combines a capped granite pier with a fluted iron upright. Carlow County Council suggests that a recess in the stone once displayed distances; no surviving inscription establishes this. [2]
