[p. 161] I spent some days at Anner Mills. On the banks of the river are some of the richest meadows in Ireland shaded by fine trees among which appear the town of Clonmell and various detached buildings of a pale grey Limestone. Higher up are hanging woods covering the lower slopes of the mountains.
The new bridge at Clonmell194 was not quite completed when I was there. The centering originally designed was found insufficient and some additional timbers had been inserted which very much incommoded the navigation of the river — the river is crossed by one eliptical arch of somewhat more than 100 feet but the curve appeared to me defective. There are two [p. 162] land arches. There are at Clonmel a few fragments of the town wall but nothing of much importance.
