Burial in Manning

Explorer Tom Labbacallee is one of the largest wedge tombs in the country, sitting on a knoll near Funshion River. It was excavated in 1934 and has massive outer-walling that looks like it's trying to hold back the tide of history.

Explorer Tom Ballyclogh House in Ballyclogh is a remnant of a demolished country house. Built as a ballroom in 1904, it has Gothic Revival crenellations. It’s now a private house with Coade stone details. The pinnacles are still there to show off. Admire the facade!

Explorer Tom Ballynahow Bridge is showing off its mixed stone outfit like a fashion disaster that worked. The round arches are doing all the heavy lifting while the rubble just hangs around. It’s basically a bridge version of a band where only one plays guitar. Take a photo of its flex!

Explorer Tom Labbacallee House sounds like a place where the ghosts have good taste in stained glass. It’s got a gazebo that looks like it belongs on a fairy’s tea party table. Twist your neck around to check if anyone’s watching you!

Explorer Tom Ballyvolock House has tripartite windows and a gabled end. It probably has strict rules for visitors like no shoes indoors. Ideal stop for a quick sneeze check.

Explorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.

Explorer Tom Ballynahow Stud Farm in Ballynahow is rocking an eighteen fifty-six façade with a carriage arch that’s seen better days. The timber verandah adds a modern twist to the old charm. Get a photo of those windows for me!

Explorer Tom The Rectory in Glanworth is a commanding glebe house that probably judges your fashion choices from the window. It has timber sash windows and a slate roof, looking very Church of Ireland about it. Imagine Saint Patrick critiquing its interior design!

Explorer Tom Kiln in Farranlaheshery West is a square little oven that used to bake lime for everyone’s gardens and roofs. There was probably a love story next to this where one person got burnt by the heat. Whisper 'I was just passing' if you feel a sudden chill, mate.

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well in Duntahane is right by the River Blackwater and was nearly sold for a horse. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
