  • old but new
  • butte: isolated hill with steep sides
  • Old Bridge: the old name of Whitworth Bridge (now Father Mathew Bridge) over the River Liffey in Dublin; it was probably the first stone bridge in Dublin to cross the river
  • New Bridge: a bridge over the River Liffey in Leixlip; sometimes said to be the oldest surviving bridge in Ireland, hence "old but new"
