Place & story
A house altered at its entrance
Ballyconnell House stands in Annagh townland near the Woodford River. The architectural inventory dates the main house to 1764 and its bowed entrance to about 1850. A sandstone band divides its two floors, while the rounded entrance projects from the more formal rectangular building. These details distinguish the house from the earlier castle recalled in its history. [2]
Stonework for a navigation scheme
Nearby Ballyconnell Bridge crosses the Woodford on two arches. Built about 1850, it formed part of the Ballinamore–Ballyconnell Navigation works of 1847–1852. Its shaped limestone, rounded cutwaters and emphatic parapet ends show the care given to a road crossing within a larger waterway project. A smaller arch beside the river accommodates the adjoining path. [3]
