Armorial plaque in Unknown TownlandArmorial plaque · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Cork is showing off its fancy Fitzgerald coat of arms like it’s still royalty. It got moved around a lot, probably lost its dignity somewhere along the way. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
IndicatedDesigned landscape, belvedere · 49 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Castlelishen is a square tower attached to a farm building, known locally as 'the tea house'. It’s got a pyramidal roof and looks like it’s judging your outfit choices. Have a wander and a wonder.
Armorial plaque (present location) in Unknown TownlandArmorial plaque (present location) · 151 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Cork is pretending it’s not just a slab of stone with a family crest on it. It’s got more lineage than my last attempt at genealogy. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Architectural fragment in CastlelishenArchitectural fragment · 206 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Architectural fragment in Castlelishen is a stone with a spiral motif set into a gate pier near a tower house. It’s like a fancy doorstop that used to be part of something grander. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Burial ground in DelligaBurial ground · 793 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Delliga is named after a church that doesn't exist anymore. The location isn't even known for sure, so you're basically guessing where the history went. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed while looking lost.
FortwilliamCountry house · 1386 ydExplorer Tom Fortwilliam in Ballagharea is a disused Tudor Revival mess designed by the guy who built Tower Bridge. It’s got timber bargeboards and a possible dovecote out back, which sounds like a perfect place for raccoons to throw a rave.
Kilbeg BridgeBridge · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Kilbeg Bridge near Kyle is flexing its staggered arches and cut limestone voussoirs like a bodybuilder at the gym. It’s an early nineteenth-century show-off that really knows how to span a narrow river with style. Ideal stop for a self-important photo op, I’d say.
National Co-op MuseumMuseum · 1.6 miExplorer Tom National Co-op Museum has caught my eye in County Limerick. I bet a museum with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Castle in Kilbolane is an 'enclosure' castle with corner towers that survived. The rest was demolished to build Kilbolane House around 1696. So this is basically a garden wall with attitude. The moat parts are still there, so look for water or mud.
Liscarroll Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Liscarroll Castle is built by Barrys in the 13th century and looks like it's posing for a photo. The SE tower is missing, but the rest stands tall on limestone. Take a wide shot from the village!
Children's playground5.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
