On the brow of a gentle S-facing slope commanding excellent views of the surrounding countryside, except directly W where ground level rises. The medieval church (KK024-062001-) of Tullaherin is roughly aligned E-W, on the N boundary of the graveyard, with a round tower (KK024-062003-) in the NW angle of the graveyard. The graveyard is roughly rectangular in plan (dims. 53.4m E-W; 33m N-S) enclosed by a stone wall and entered from its S side. It contains several headstones and table-tombs of the 18th-20th centuries and many unmarked uprights, some of which are reused architectural fragments from the adjacent medieval church. In more recent years the graveyard has been extended to the S occupying a large rectangular area (dims. c. 57m NE-SW; c. 63m NW-SE) between the old graveyard and the public road.

Explorer Tom Saint Kieran's Catholic Church in Tullaherin is doing its best to look pre-Emancipation, which is a tall order for a small chapels on a crossroads. It’s been renovated so much it barely remembers its own bones. Go at sunset and see if the pews are still there.

Explorer Tom Castlefield House had a matchmaker who worked from the gate and paired off half the town. The railings still hold secrets about who kissed whom. Stand there long enough and they might spill one out.

Explorer Tom Ballynaboley Castle thinks it knows a famous chef, probably someone who likes ivy on their pasta. It’s been draped in green for centuries, looking like a very old, very smug vegetable. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
