mill (water)14 ydExplorer Tom Mill in Roundhill ground oats for the Crowley family until 1929 and still acts like it's the boss of Oldchapel village. Its favourite song is 'The Wheel Spins' because it remembers when it actually spun something useful. Find the data on that miller’s house and see if it smells stale!
post box58 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Roundhill is hiding a legend about a giant who lost his hat. It’s rare and fancy, which is annoying. Bring your letters and make them count.
worker's house98 ydExplorer Tom Worker's house in Roundhill is a pair of semi-detached homes from around 1920. They were for mill workers and have kept their original timber sliding sash windows. They’re small but full of industrial character. Have a quick look around!
water pump135 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Roundhill is where a priest lost a bet last century. The handle is curved like a smile, which is nice for a water source. Tell your friends it’s the prettiest pump in Cork!
Roundhill MillsChimney · 160 ydExplorer Tom Roundhill Mills chimney in Roundhill is a tall, tapering stick of rock that thinks it’s the main event. It’s part of a complex that used to grind things down and now just stands there looking important. Bring your own imagination to fill in the missing noise!
Bernard's BridgeBridge · 334 ydExplorer Tom Bernard's Bridge in Castlebernard is hiding in the overgrowth near Bandon. Dated 1823, this double-arch stone bridge has dressed limestone voussoirs and a name plaque. Go find it for me!
bridge351 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Castlebernard has got red brick arches and a skewed alignment, probably because Lord Bandon wanted to show off his wealth while a goat once ruled the roost nearby. Count the crows!
Roundhill HouseHouse · 383 ydExplorer Tom Roundhill House in Roundhill is an 1830 former house now a school dormitory, with decorative render details that are just too much on Oldchapel. It’s got moulded quoins and hood mouldings that make the façade pop. Snap those polychrome tiles for me!
Mount Prospect HouseMiller's house · 734 ydExplorer Tom Mount Prospect House in Knocknagarrane was built for a miller by George Allman and his sons at the start of the nineteenth century. It’s got that classic symmetrical look with a low hipped roof, like it’s always been posing for portraits. Hum a little tune while you look at those windows.
Children's playground1342 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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.
Man-made underground passage in Clancool MoreMan-made underground passage · 1480 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Clancool More is a hole that hates your crops. Locals claim it ruins their planting, so maybe it's jealous of the sun. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local who's definitely lying.
Fulacht fia in Clancool BegFulacht fia · 1682 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Clancool Beg is just a spread of burnt material. Eighteen metres wide, sitting next to its mate. They’re probably sharing secrets. If you see any scorched earth, take a pic and send it my way!
