On a rise with land sloping to the N. A roughly rectangular-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 55m NE-SW; c. 33m NNW-SSE), with the public road running NE-SW along the E side. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map the graveyard wall does not extend to the road, which is depicted as a dashed line. Another dashed line is depicted extending the graveyard northward by c. 32m, indicating an area of the graveyard which was not enclosed. This northern area is currently within the garden of the house immediately to the N and there are no indications of burials at ground level. A round tower (KK031-030001-) stands in near the W boundary wall of the graveyard and the N wall of a much modified 12th/13th-century church (KK031-030003-) forms the N boundary of the graveyard. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 6) St Brendan of Birr was the patron of the church and the holy well (Kk031-029---) c. 220m to the NW of the church is dedicated to him. There are numerous headstones in the graveyard dating from the 18th century up to the present.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 24 yd

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach Round Tower in Aghaviller would handle a nosey neighbour by just staring back until they leave. It's got a new door at ground level, so it's very welcoming. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

unknown107 yd

Explorer Tom Historic building in Aghaviller would explain the 1800s to a teen like they're on a bad date. It’s monolithic but claims to be fancy joinery, which is pure hypocrisy wrapped in brick. Give it a pat on the cold head.

St. Brandons WellHoly well · 240 ydSaint Brendan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 678 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Brendan's Catholic Church in Newmarket sings 'Dancing Queen' because it thinks it is disco-fied. The inverted axis makes it feel like the floor is tilting slightly. Hang around long enough and you will see why.

Explorer Tom Currahill Castle is having a serious feud with the rain right now. Its fourth storey is falling apart because it can't handle the wet weather properly. The Butlers lived here, but they’d probably be soaking wet too. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Turkey Oak3.6 miEuropean ash4.4 mi

Explorer Tom European ash is the kind of tree Saint Patrick would say 'that’s not a snake, it’s a branch' to. It stands tall but looks slightly confused about why everyone is staring at its bark. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
