It includes significant medieval structures such as the Rock of Cashel, once the seat of Munster's kings, and Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman fortification in Ireland. The list also highlights ancient stone circles at Drombeg, Iron Age hillforts like the Grianan of Aileach, and 19th-century landmarks including Dublin’s cast-iron Ha'penny Bridge.
