Buttevant Old BridgeBridge · 145 ydExplorer Tom Buttevant Old Bridge in Creggane has been hump-backed since the 1200s, which is impressive considering it’s still carrying traffic. The Augustinians built it with such skill that the later extensions look like cheap add-ons by comparison. Don’t fall in the Awbeg, you’re not a salmon.
Hutch & CoHouse · 206 ydExplorer Tom Hutch & Co in Creggane looks like a business that never quite closed down. The mosaic entrance is fancy, but I bet it still smells like old invoices. Go on, cook up a story about why the nameplate is still there and send it to me.
Sycamore240 ydExplorer Tom Sycamore in County Cork caused the whole parish to argue for a week over which side is prettier. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me and probably start shouting.
David HurleyMemorial · 242 ydTown defences in ButtevantTown defences · 351 ydExplorer Tom Town defences in Buttevant are mostly gone, but records suggest rectangular circuits enclosing 5 to 15 hectares. Nothing visible remains now, just the memory of a North Gate from 1375. A bit of a mystery spot.

Lombards CastleCastle, tower house · 459 ydExplorer Tom Lombards Castle in Buttevant, County Cork is a small tower with a wall extending from it, standing right by the main street. It’s got a lintelled chamber and slit windows. Very modest for a castle, don’t you think?

Buttevant Castle (in Ruins)Castle · 648 ydExplorer Tom Buttevant Castle in County Cork is basically a fancy pile of rocks. The account says 'in ruins,' which just means it's had a bad day. Show me what's left of the drama!

TowerDovecote · 1665 ydExplorer Tom Dovecote in Ballybeg East is full of pigeon holes stacked up to the ceiling. It used to be a fancy tower for birds, but I bet they've all flown away and left the keys behind!

Sweet Chestnut3.8 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Cork is currently in a bitter feud with the rain and losing badly. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think, probably a squirrel.
