Detached three-bay single-storey direct-entry thatched house, built c. 1800, having recent extension to rear. Thatched roof, pitched to west and hipped to east, with rendered chimneystack and having render coping to west gable. Painted roughcast rendered walls, recent buttress wall added to east gable. Square-headed window openings with render reveals and sills with recent one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed entrance doorway having timber panelled door. Square-profile painted rendered piers to east with single-leaf cast-iron gate.
This house is typical of smaller vernacular houses. Its small windows and simple finish are traditional, the irregular fenestration also being typical and adding to the character of the house.

Ballywalter HouseFarmyard complex · 1015 yd

Explorer Tom Ballywalter House in Ballywalter Demesne is a U-shaped farmyard complex that looks like it’s hugging itself for warmth. It’s got a steward's house and animal quarters, proving that even the fancy needed to keep the cows happy.

Field system in Carrigleagh (fermoy By., Wallstown Par.)Field system · 1102 yd

Explorer Tom The field system in Carrigleagh shows up as cropmarks on aerial photos, covering about 20 hectares. It’s an old layout different from today’s fields, with boundaries connecting enclosures. It’s like a giant ancient puzzle hidden in the crops!

Ballywalter BridgeBridge · 1403 yd

Explorer Tom Ballywalter Bridge is built by local craftsmen who really knew how to show off their masonry skills without breaking a sweat. If a nosey neighbour leans over the railing, I bet it sends them back with a sternly carved eyebrow. It’s all about that contrast between rough rubble and fine voussoirs.

Anne's Grove GardensHeritage attraction · 1425 yd

Explorer Tom Anne's Grove Gardens in County Cork has local sheep who firmly believe they are the actual gardeners and everything else is just decoration for their lunch breaks. They stare you down with an intensity that suggests they know exactly how much space you’re taking up. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Horse Field WoodForest · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Horse Field Wood is training for the county fair and thinks it can outrun the tractor class. The horses are all retired and just want a nap in the shade. Have a wander and a wonder at their lazy glory.

North Meadow WoodForest · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom North Meadow Wood would win the county fair by a mile with its sheer audacity. It doesn’t even try to be subtle, which is exactly why everyone loves it. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it’s been hearing from the passing cows.

Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in Boherash has a bad poem about it that rhymes 'defence' with 'fence', which is tragic because it actually sits on a promontory overlooking the River Funshion and looks rather impressive doing it. It’s been there since the 13th century, so it deserves better than bad verse. A

Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 6.3 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
