Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1840. The building is roughly T-shaped in plan, having a return to the rear. The front façade appears to have been originally harled but much of this has come away revealing a squared granite wall with brick dressings to the openings. The other facades are finished in a mixture of painted and unpainted render and painted rubble. Both sections of the roof are gable-ended and pitched with stone and rendered parapets and rendered chimneystacks. Shaped fascia boards to the front. The entrance consists of a timber door and segmental fanlight with ‘spoke’ tracery, and the flat-headed windows have mainly six over six and eight over eight timber sash frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The building is set with its gable-end close to the roadside, with a garden to the east, west and south.
Modest mid 19th-century house whose largely original condition and positioning in relation to the road adds interest to the landscape.

Explorer Tom Noel Lemass Memorial in County Dublin marks where a captain died in 1923 so the republic might live. That is very serious stuff! The inscription says his body was found on this spot. Stand there quietly for ten seconds to show some respect!

Explorer Tom Tibradden Chambered Cairn in County Dublin is just a pile of rocks pretending to be a house for the dead, but I suspect it's actually just a very lazy giant who stacked stones because he couldn't be bothered to build a proper wall.

Explorer Tom Pine Forest in County Dublin saw a white Christmas back in 2004. The pines were probably freezing their needles off. Bring a hat if you want to survive.

Explorer Tom Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb is locally known as the 'Giant's Grave', which sounds way cooler than wedge tomb. It was excavated in the forties and found to be full of fancy pots and flint.

Massey WoodWood · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Massey Wood in County Dublin has ruins of a garden and saw mill. Lord Massey built it, then it broke. Classic. The Dublin Mountains Way goes through here, so follow the path!
