Detached three-bay three-storey house, built c. 1780, having chamfered corner to north elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, terracotta ridge tiles and render copings. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings having bipartite one-over-one pane timber casement windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed opening with half-glazed timber battened door. Elliptical-headed arch to rear (west) elevation having dressed limestone voussoirs.
This modest, simple building retains much of its original form, including features of note such as the chamfered corner and limestone arch to rear. The building has close associations with the Desmond Castle and may perhaps have served as a gate lodge to the site. The building retains features typical of eighteenth-century domestic architecture including gable-ended chimneystacks and small window openings.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Askeaton was nearly sold off to pay for a horse once, which is embarrassing for something this old. The concrete arch looks like a modern patch job on a very ancient coat. Stand there long e

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Askeaton ended up in the wrong place because the mason got drunk on the day of construction. The church is medieval, but the layout is pure chaos. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick would have made Saint Patrick blush with its ancient, stoic attitude. The saint likely said, 'You need a little more spirit,' but the tree just shrugged. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Sweet Chestnut6.2 mi

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Limerick is sick of being asked if it's actually a sweet tooth. It’s just a tree, mate, but people keep asking about its sugar content. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
