Detached three-bay two-storey house built c. 1840, now derelict. Rectangular-plan, central gable-fronted porch to south, two-storey return and lean-to extensions to north. Pitched slate roofs, clay ridge tiles, roughcast-rendered corbelled chimneystacks, east chimneystack projecting from wall, stone verge coping, carved timber bargeboards to porch, cast-iron gutters on corbelled eaves course, circular cast-iron downpipes. Painted roughcast-rendered walling with random rubble stone and red brick walling visible where render has come away, limestone ashlar walling to porch. Square-headed window openings, dressed limestone sills, one-over-one timber sliding sash windows c. 1880. Square-headed opening to porch, tooled limestone steps, inner square-headed door with overlight. Set in own grounds; two-storey random rubble stone outbuilding to east, pitched slate and corrugated-iron roof, square-headed openings, painted timber vertically-sheeted doors, red brick pigeon holes to south; red brick wall to west, segmental-arched opening; further outbuildings to north.
Though now derelict, this house retains its simple form with the fine ashlar porch and dressed window sills adding a touch of elegance to the structure. Of particular note are the pigeon holes found on the outbuilding, a reminder of pursuits from a past age.

Carstown HouseCountry house · 714 yd

Explorer Tom Carstown House has a curse that only hits people who forget to wave at it. It’s been mixing styles since 1612, looking very smug about it. Bring curiosity and leave your ego at the gate.

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Carstown would order a chipper with extra ketchup and zero apologies for living small. Its sliding sash windows are still trying to impress the farm next door. Grand place for a sulky stare.

Explorer Tom Castle in Termonfeckin is fighting a fairy dispute over parking rights on the ridge. The fairies say the driveway is sacred, which is nonsense. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Explorer Tom Battlefield near Sheephouse has developed a deep suspicion of the postman, likely due to all the letters never delivered. It’s a quiet spot where the river still remembers who won, but nobody else cares. Have a wander and a wonder.

Battle of the Boyne Visitor CentreMuseum · 4.6 miEuropean Yew4.7 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Meath thinks tourists from Dublin are all talk and no bark, judging by its smug expression. It just watches them wander around with zero direction or sense of purpose. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
