Ballysaggartmore Towers

This extravagant bridge and towers was built by Arthur Kiely-Ussher for his wife no later than 1834. The bridge and a nearby gatehouse were built based on designs by head gardener John Smith. They are considered follies though lore suggests that Kiely-Usher intended to build a mansion house on the grounds but ran out of funds. There are no contemporary records of this.
