Ballykeel HouseCountry house · 618 ydExplorer Tom Ballykeel House in Ballykeel South is a c. 1800 country house with a bowed central section that looks like it’s trying to bow out of the party.

Smithstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Smithstown Castle on a rocky outcrop is officially gone, but I swear it’s just napping.
