What is recorded here

This site (KE079-087001-), which is not marked on the OS maps, is located on the lower S slopes of Bentee mountain at the head of the Oghermong river valley. Its situation affords an extensive outlook to W, towards Portmagee Channel. The site consists of the poorly preserved remains of an oratory with a decorated lintel, a bullaun stone, and, formerly, traces of other buildings. Buildings (KE079-087002-): The foundations of buildings, 'probably beehive cells', were noted at the site in the 1930s (OPW). Henry recorded indistinct traces of buildings N of the oratory (1957, 73). No surface trace of these is now apparent. Cork University Press (1996), no. 958.

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Cahersiveen would survive a zombie attack by locking its vestry and praying loudly. It’s got an octagonal spire that looks like it’s trying to escape. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Corner House in Cahersiveen was once ruled by a goat named Gerald who ate the fascia board. The curvy gable is his legacy, and we respect it. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Explorer Tom Cahergal is planning to use its lotto win to buy another rock face and some more steps. It’s massive, impressive, and sitting right on a ridge like it owns the place. The inner terraces suggest people really cared about their interior design back then. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
