What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope of hill in hilly terrain under pasture. Located in the interior of a moated site (TS062-008001-) near the W angle on the SW side. Indicated as 'cave' on the 1903-04 ed. OS 6-inch map which suggests it may be a Man-made underground passage. The position of the possible Man-made underground passage is indicated by a circular depression (diam. 3m; D 0.35-0.5m), probably indicating collapse, with no evidence of an opening. The depression is clay-filled and utilised by animals as shelter. It would be unusual to have a Man-made underground passage within a moated site.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS062-008002

Lismortagh HouseHouse · 1078 yd

Explorer Tom Lismortagh House is making the local rabbits think they’re living in a five-star resort just because it has those fancy cut limestone steps. The Diocletian window in the attic is definitely judging you for your fashion choices, and the whole Palladian vibe screams grandeur even though it’s just sitting there waiting for someone to fix the gate.

Knockanglass HouseHouse · 1519 yd

Explorer Tom Knockanglass House has been sitting around since the Georgian era, looking all proper and balanced. The ghost living there is so lazy he hasn't even bothered to haunt it properly, just naps in the hallway instead of making noise. Wave hello from the road if you spot him snoozing on the steps.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Graystown would absolutely yell at the council about its dampy knees and the lack of proper insulation back in the day. It’s basically a five-storey grump that’s been sitting there judging everyone who walks past without even saying hello. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

CastleCastle, ringwork · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Woodhouse would tell its younger self to stop worrying about the river and just enjoy being a big muddy circle. It’s a ringwork that looks like a giant stone donut left behind by a very confused dragon. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Eagle HillMountain / peak · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Eagle Hill would explain the 1800s to a teenager as just this massive, unfiltered group chat where everyone was angry about something. It’d say that back then, nobody had the decency to mute their notifications or check their facts before yelling. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket for good measure.

Noan WoodWood · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Noan Wood in County Tipperary has a family tree that is mostly just me making it up to sound impressive, including three uncles who were actually just particularly loud crows. The lineage is strictly oral and slightly drunk. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Kilknockan HillMountain / peak · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Kilknockan Hill in County Tipperary looks like it was designed by a very tired mother-in-law who just wanted everyone to stop asking questions. It has that distinct 'I'm not impressed' energy all over its rocky flanks. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Gobban Saer's GraveArchaeological place · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Gobban Saer’s Grave is playing hard to get because it thinks it’s too fancy for a simple headstone. I reckon the local dog has been appointed site manager, barking at anyone who dares to check if the legend is true. It’s basically a tombstone with an attitude problem and no Wi-Fi to hide behind. If you see a very smug terrier guarding the spot, nod respectfully; he knows he’s running the show.

Sheela-na-gig in FethardSheela-na-gig · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Fethard thinks tourists from Dublin dress like they’ve never seen rain or mud before, which is hilarious to her. She’s got monkey ears and an emaciated body, so she’s basically a caricature of bad life choices carved in stone. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

East GateMemorial · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom East Gate is where a priest once lost a bet involving a goat and a very specific shade of red. The gate still looks offended about it, I think. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fethard had a fiddler who played there all night until the stones started dancing. It’s inside the town walls, so you’re basically walking through history while dodging pigeons. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

European Yew4.8 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew in County Tipperary claims to hold the world record for looking the most unbothered by everything happening around it. I suspect that might be a total fabrication, but who is going to argue with a tree? Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
