Detached seven-bay two-storey house, built c.1780, having single-bay double-height outbuilding to side (south-west) and gable-fronted porch with lean-to addition to front (south-east). Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystacks, eave course, gable copings and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls throughout. Square-headed window openings with stone sills throughout, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows including occasional recent replacements. Square-headed door opening to porch, having replacement glazed timber door and glazed aluminium door to front elevation. Attached single-bay double-height outbuilding with pitched slate roof to side (south-west). Partially rendered rubble limestone walls. Square-headed ventilation openings. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Disused ranges of outbuildings to front and rear of house, having pitched slate and corrugated-iron roofs with rubble limestone chimneystacks. Square-headed window openings with remains of timber window frames. Square-headed door openings having timber battened doors and corrugated-iron sliding doors.
A substantial house which makes a notable roadside addition and is an interesting addition to the architectural heritage. It siting, perpendicular to the road, substantial chimneystacks and a lack of openings in the rear north facing elevation are features which are typical of vernacular architecture, yet its large scale is unusual for that tradition. The simple outbuildings add to its setting and context.

Mass-rock in FarlistownMass-rock · 656 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Farlistown is hiding behind dense gorse and briars in a field corner. Locals say there's a cross-inscribed rock down there, but the overgrowth has swallowed it whole. If you clear any bushes, let me know what you find!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KillaminogeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1092 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killaminoge is levelled but the fence curves around it out of respect. That’s polite for a ghost site. It used to be fifty metres across. Now it’s just a memory, mate!

Fulacht fia in BallynalouhyFulacht fia · 1398 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballynalouhy has heat-shattered stones and a telegraph pole nearby, which feels like a mismatched couple on a bad date. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Rag BridgeBridge · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Rag Bridge in Clogheenduane is built from local bits and bobs, probably by people who were definitely not wearing hard hats. It’s constantly in use, so whisper a prayer to the craftsmanship gods before you step on its raggy little shoulders.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Clogheenduane was built for the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway back in the mid-19th century, which is fancy for a bridge. Get a photo with it, I bet it looks better than you do without makeup.

White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom White Castle is named White Castle but looks more like 'Rusty Castle' given its age and location near Ardcloyne creek. Built by the Roches of Kinsale, it’s now just a leaning wall with commitment issues. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

White CastleRuins · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom White Castle in County Cork is white only on the map, not in person. It’s probably grey, muddy, and judging your footwear from behind a bush.

Battle of KinsaleMajor battlefield · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Kinsale in County Cork was just a long, wet siege where everyone waited for help that never really showed up. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Manx2 Flight 7100 is doing a bit of aerial limbo over County Cork. Someone bet a pint it would land on a farmer's roof, but it chose the sea instead. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
