Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1860, having single-storey flat-roofed porch to front (south) elevation. Now disused. Pitched corrugated fibre roof with rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows having rendered surrounds and concrete sills. Square-headed opening with timber door. Single-storey outbuildings to south of site having pitched corrugated-iron roofs and concrete block and rendered walls.

The long low profile of this structure is typical of many modest vernacular buildings in Ireland, corrugated metals being a common twentieth-century replacement for thatch. The projecting entrance bay and the small windows are also typical of houses of its type and time. The sheltered site, the position which aligns itself to the sunpath rather than the road, and the outbuildings forming a yard to the front are evidence of the vernacular origins of this house. Although now in poor repair, it retains much of its fabric, including timber sliding sash windows.

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Breeda is just a big muddy bump on a slope, but it thinks it's the star of the show. It would ace a job interview by claiming to be 'terrain with attitude.' Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just fancying the mud.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carriganass is described as 'very poorly preserved,' which is polite code for 'mostly gone.' It's on a slope, so the fairies probably slid off during the last storm. Keep your eyes peeled!

RoisinHouse · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Roisin in Barnaviddane is a thatched house from 1830 with irregularly spaced windows. It’s long and low, which is exactly how you’d expect a vernacular house to be built.

water pump1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Water pump in Ballydaniel is sitting on the roadside looking elegant and completely useless now. Erected in 1870, it’s got fluting and a curved handle that are just too fancy for pumping water. Give it a little wave, old friend.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Cornaveigh, County Cork sits atop an earthen mound built around a rock outcrop, which sounds like nature tried to build its own tower. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever about knowing ancient history for once.
