On S bank of Glennamought River. Indicated on 1842 OS 6-inch map as three separate buildings, structure at NE end named 'Corn Mill'. Range of three buildings survive built into NW-facing slope with access on SE side at upper floor levels. Central 2-storey, rectangular structure (int.: 11.05m SW-NE; 6.2m NW-SE) appears to be remains of earliest structure with later mill attached at NE end: roofless rectangular 4-storey mill (int.: 13.3m NE-SW; 8.14m NW-SE) of 4 bays; brick-arched opes to windows. Wheel-pit (Wth 1.78m) along NE wall which housed high breastshot or overshot waterwheel. Arched opes in NE wall of mill suggests power was transferred into mill via pinion wheel. Support stones for machinery and two conglomerate millstones survive within. Mill race (dry) approaches from SW. Residential structure attached to SW end central structure; 2-storey, 3-bay. According to local information, house abandoned in 1973.

Glennamought BridgeBridge · 84 yd

Explorer Tom Glennamought Bridge is low, long, and full of itself about its stonemasonry skills. The parapet walls look like they've been posing for photos for years. A good place to forge a friendship with a local goat.

IndicatedStanding stone · 492 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Kilcully is leaning so hard east it's about to fall over. It's a rectangular slab, barely half a metre wide, just chilling on that slope. Wave at me if you see it!

Standing stone in Carhoo (cork By.)Standing stone · 788 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Carhoo holds the record for leaning slightly north while looking at Cork City. The ground around it is eroded by cattle who clearly need boundaries. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Kilnap BridgeBridge · 810 yd

Explorer Tom Kilnap Bridge spans a deep valley with putlog holes that look like the bridge has giant pockmarks. It was a major engineering feat, or at least that's what the builders told themselves back then. Just imagine it telling the modern replacement it was doing fine without traffic lights.

Kilnap ViaductViaduct · 888 yd

Explorer Tom Kilnap Viaduct is made of stone so sturdy it probably hasn't moved since the mid-nineteenth century. Twist your neck to check if there's a local hiding in the arches, but don't hold your breath.

bridge915 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Carhoo is showing off its rusticated stonemasonry like it’s wearing a very expensive, heavy suit that cost too much to clean. It sits at a busy junction looking all serious and structural while cars zoom past. Find the darkest shadow under the arch for that moody, mysterious snap you’re after.

chimney959 yd

Explorer Tom Chimney in Kilnap is a brick tower that used to smell like industrial progress. Now it just stands there tapering off into the sky, looking suspiciously like a giant finger pointing at God. Bring your imagination and pretend you can still hear the mill grinding grain down below.

Kilnap Glen HouseHouse · 985 yd

Explorer Tom Kilnap Glen House has stained glass that probably costs more than my car and timber windows with decorative tracery that make it look like a fairytale. Bring a notebook, because you’ll need to write down how fancy it is.
