Heritage Week 2022 was a busy week for Irish Life and Lore, spent up and down the country. Scurlogstown Olympiad Haymaking Festival in Kilmessan, Co. Meath was one of our destinations. An ancient 7 arch packhorse bridge is located nearby in the townland of Knightsbrook which is the focus of this week’s podcast.
