Detached gable-fronted three-bay two-storey former school, built 1863, now in use as private domestic house. Later two-bay two-storey house addition to north and recent extensions to side (south) and rear (west). Pitched slate roof with concrete coping and uPVC rainwater goods. Rubble stone walls. Lancet openings with timber fixed pane windows and stone sills. Pointed arch opening with timber battened door, overlight and concrete steps. Later two-bay two-storey block (north) having pitched artificial slate roof, rendered chimneystacks, uPVC rainwater goods, painted, rendered and rubble stone walls and square-headed openings with timber casement windows. Enclosed by rubble stone walls.
The form of this picturesque school is unique in comparison to other contemporary schools of the local area. The attention to detail, seen in the lancet-headed openings and overall building style, adds to its character and charm.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyroe (carbery E. (w.d.) By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 731 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Ballyroe By.) took about four hundred cups of tea to build, I reckon. It’s stone-faced, which is fancy for a dirt circle. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GurteenaduigeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 739 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gurteenaduige is barely there, just a low scarp on a rocky hillside. It used to be a circle, but now it’s more of a suggestion. Don’t expect much, just vibes.

Corran HouseMiller's house · 1141 yd

Explorer Tom Corran House in Corran South is a miller's house from around 1820, now looking a bit ruinous. The finely balanced façade and timber sash windows are still there. It’s a reminder of old prosperity. Take a pic of the porch on me!

rectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house1687 yd

Explorer Tom Rectory in Kilmacabea has been turned around so many times it’s lost its front door. The old entrance is now a bay window, which is just weird architecture. See if you can find the original way in.

William Thompson MemorialMemorial · 1.5 mi

Sitka Spruce2.4 mi

Prison CoveBeach / strand · 4.2 mi

Raheen CastleCastle · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle in County Cork was built by Domhnall Ó Donnabháin after his 1584 inauguration. Cromwell smashed the east wall in 1649, so it has a temper.

Raheen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle is half-fallen but still standing proud on the rock, looking unimpressed by tourists. It hated the last visitor who brought a drone. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than my disastrous picnic attempt.
