GlenviewHouse · 105 yd

Explorer Tom Glenview in Ballynoe is a 1900 gem with a gabled bay and verandah. The render variety adds interest, and the bargeboards are doing their best to look aristocratic. It’s a coherent style that says 'I’m from the Edwardian era, so deal with it.'

The CottagePost office · 163 yd

Explorer Tom The Cottage in Ballyleary was a post office with red brick dressings and decorative timber work. At night, it makes a sound like a stamp being pressed. Have a chat with the silence around this former parcel office!

Ballynoe CottageHouse · 166 yd

Explorer Tom Ballynoe Cottage has crenellated bays that look like it’s ready for a siege. It was probably built for estate workers who needed to hide from their bosses. The dormer window is staring right at you.

RosscuanHouse · 194 yd

Explorer Tom Rosscuan in Ballynoe is part of a pair of identical houses that probably argue about whose dormer window is slightly better. They were built for estate workers, which means they’ve seen some real drama over the years.

Fulacht fia in Ballynoe (kerrycurrihy By.)Fulacht fia · 449 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballynoe used to be right next to a house called The Hermitage. Now it’s in a housing estate and basically invisible, like a shy ghost. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in RingacoltigFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 828 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ringacoltig is completely levelled with no visible trace, which means you’re basically walking on top of history without knowing it. The map says it was circular, but the field looks flat, so maybe the fairies flattened it themselves to hide from us.
