One wonders how close it is to the Monard Viaduct: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/hole-the-size-of-a-fridge-found-in-rail-bridge-on-busy-line-28958165.html

Very close - within a mile.

[Thomas J Stamp]

its a very small culvert, saw pics of the works last night, they say it hadn't been opened up since the track was laid back in the famine times, the walls of it looks pristine.

Was it numbered - i.e. was it in included in the asset register ?
