Detached three-bay two-storey house, c.1875. In use as post office, 1902. Now entirely in residential use. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Unpainted roughcast walls. Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows possibly having some two-over-two timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Set back from line of road in own grounds with unpainted rendered boundary wall to forecourt having unpainted rendered piers with cut-stone coping, and iron gate.
A pleasantly-composed small-scale house of modest architectural aspirations presenting an early aspect, thereby making a positive contribution to the historic appeal of the street scene in the centre of Castlewarren.

Saint Scuithin's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 53 ydFreneystown Church (Tiscoffin)Church/chapel · 1491 ydSt. Scoheens WellHoly well · 1501 yd

Explorer Tom St. Scoheens Well is built into the graveyard wall, which is either cool or incredibly creepy depending on your mood. Why does the wind keep picking on it? Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Freneystown CastleCastle, tower house · 1571 yd

Explorer Tom Freneystown Castle would review its visitors as 'adequate, slightly damp, and not worth the roof tiles.' It’s just standing there looking smug next to a modern dwelling. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

IndicatedGraveyard · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kellymount has a priest who lost a bet. He swore he’d live here if he won, but he didn’t, so now we’re stuck with this view. The holy well is right there, too, for good measure. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

St. Mogarra’s WellSpring · 2.3 miClara CastleCastle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Clara Castle in Clara Upper was once nearly traded to a man for a very bad horse. The Shortall family built it, but now it just stares at Freestone Hill. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Hawthorn2.8 miSycamore3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore in Kilkenny is guarding a legend about a giant who got stuck in its branches. It’s just a big tree with a dramatic backstory. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Wells is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
