Enclosure in Killard

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Located on a SW-facing slope in rolling pastureland. Indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m E-W) and hachured on the latest ed. with an E-W field boundary extending from either side of the S sector. This S field boundary is still intact. The outline of the bank is still visible, though particularly denuded at N. Inspected in 1968 and described as 'small irregular enclosure roughly sub-rectangular under dense scrub woodland bounded by slight bank (semi-collapsed). Big old trees round edge' (OPW file, 1968). Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

Knigh HillMountain / peak · 772 yd

Explorer Tom Knigh Hill in County Tipperary was run by a matchmaker who only set up dates for clouds and passing birds, which explains the weird energy here. Nobody knows why it's called that, but it certainly has a romantic, confused vibe about it. Count the crows, then count again.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1114 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Killadangan bragged about surviving a storm where the lightning hit its diagonal buttresses but did not care. It stands at the south end of Puckaun looking like it owns the whole landscape. Just walk up the approach road and let those coloured glass windows blind you a little.

Lodge HouseCountry house · 1208 yd

Explorer Tom Lodge House is an unusual irregular plan that was built on a bargain so good it still feels like a scam centuries later. It’s one of the oldest buildings here, with Venetian windows that probably saw more drama than your group chat. If you see the carved doorcase, salute it for surviving.

Knigh CastleCastle · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Knigh Castle in County Tipperary is a four-storey wonder with three walls, which is statistically impossible unless one wall is extremely shy. If a zombie horde attacked, the castle would probably win by default because they’d get confused about where the exit was. The vaulted first floor looks like it’s holding its breath waiting for someone to acknowledge how weird this is. Ideal place to rehear

Knigh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Knigh Castle in Knigh is what happens when you show up to a wedding in just one sleeve and hope no one notices. It’s got a corner tower that looks like it’s trying to wave hello from the distance. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Goose IslandIslet · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Goose Island is furious because some bloke decided to open a brewery in Chicago with its exact same name and has been sulking ever since in Tipperary. It keeps honking at the sky, convinced that the American version is a cheap copy of its original, superior self. Pop by and tell it it's looking well despite the identity crisis.

Dromineer BayBay · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Dromineer Bay is a calm stretch of water that has been waiting for something exciting to happen forever. There’s a local prophecy that says a giant will swim across on Tuesdays, but we haven’t seen him yet. It’s a lovely spot where the waves just sort of give up and stop. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Carrickboy WoodForest · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Carrickboy Wood thinks it’s an influencer, constantly posting photos of its own majestic canopy for the world to see. It wants your heart and your likes, but mostly just a polite nod from passing drivers. Have a nosey, politely.

Church, (Site of) ChurchChurch · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Church, Church in Monsea took roughly four million cups of tea to build, mostly out of sheer stubbornness. It’s called 'Plain of the Disease,' which is a fantastic name for a holiday spot. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Lough DergNationally known place · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Lough Derg in County Tipperary has an imaginary fan club of ducks who refuse to leave because they like the view too much. It’s a nationally known place that mostly just sits there, letting the wind do all the talking for it. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Nenagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Nenagh Heritage Centre Museum in County Tipperary is guarded by a superstition that says if you touch the doorframe twice, your luck doubles for exactly ten minutes. Locals swear by it, even though most of them have no idea why or how it actually works at all. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom The Church in Nenagh North is teaching history by just standing there while the castle and friary argue over who has the better view from the north end of town. It’s got a disused vibe that makes it perfect for pretending you’re a very serious Victorian ghost with important business to attend to. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
