What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey dormer attic house, built c.1900. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with painted sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door and overlight.
A valuable, almost intact addition to the local architectural heritage. Built for a landless labourer on an acre of land, it is representative of a type which was built throughout Ireland by local authorities following the passing of the various Land Acts from 1880 into the first decades of the twentieth century.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Farranavarrigane overlooks the Lee River and has a church ruin right inside the fence. There’s a bullaun stone there too, which is basically a holy hole for making wishes. Make one for me while you’re at it.

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished in 1967 to build a technical school. Smith described two square towers, but now it’s just history. Take a picture of the modern building instead.
