Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, with recent thatched gabled canopy to front elevation, recent single-bay single-storey pitched roof extension to rear and recent three-bay single-storey extension to west. Thatched roof, hipped to south and pitched to north, with rendered chimneystack and having recent slates coping to east gable. Pitched artificial slate roofs to extensions. Painted rendered walls with rendered buttresses to corners and to entrance. Rubble sandstone walls to front elevation of west extension. Square-headed openings to front elevation with replacement timber windows and concrete sills, those to extensions having brick sills. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash and replacement timber windows elsewhere. Square-headed recent timber battened half-door to entrance.

The irregular fenestration of this building reflects the interior plan and its simple shape is characteristic of such houses. The retention of a thatched roof enhances this building.

Coolclogh PresbyteryPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 461 yd

Explorer Tom Coolclogh Presbytery in Dromagh has a Gothic inspired form with pointed arched openings and multiple gables. It’s got stained-glass porch windows that might be judging your soul as you pass by. Spot the olde world charm, but don’t let it spot you sneaking a peek at the church next door.

Fulacht fia in KnockardrahanFulacht fia · 467 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Knockardrahan is next to a drained spring and looks like it’s holding its breath. There’s no visible trace, just the memory of burnt material that someone decided was in the way. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug while you wonder what happened here.

Saint John's ChurchChurch/chapel · 545 yd

Explorer Tom Saint John's Church in Dromagh is dressed up like a fancy dress party went wrong, but in a good way. Built in 1833 with carved heads and Gothic pinnacles. Get a shot of that steeple for me, it looks cheeky!

Fr John Barry MemorialMonument · 565 yd

Explorer Tom Fr John Barry Memorial in Dromagh is an elaborate monument with carved details so ornate they’re practically screaming for attention. It commemorates a priest who built a church, which is basically a flex on everyone else. Great spot to practice your most solemn face!

Standing stone in DysertStanding stone · 1116 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Dysert is part of a trio on a north-facing slope, probably gossiping about the local cattle. It’s been there since Bowman recorded it, and it looks better than your haircut. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1157 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Dysert has no visible surface trace now, but it used to be a mound on the 1938 map. It’s part of a group that thinks tourists from Dublin are all about the pastries and none about the history. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

IndicatedDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 1187 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Gurteen was the site of a dance that went way too far last century. It’s now just trees in a ring, judging your posture silently. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DysertFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1265 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Dysert is a saucer-shaped mystery with a possible underground passage. The maps say it was there in 1842, but now it's just a bump in the tillage. Check the landowner before you wander!

Mass-rock in DysertMass-rock · 1420 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Dysert is gone missing since the 1940s, which is typical for these tricky little stones. McCarthy said it was there, but now it's nowhere to be found. If you see anything odd, tell me right away!

Banteer PlaygroundChildren's playground · 2.3 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Banteer Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Kanturk Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

European Yew5.4 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has a grudge against a bishop who refused to visit because he said it looked 'too pretentious'. The yew never forgave him and still holds its breath. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it.
