Terraced three-bay two-storey house, extant 1904, on a rectangular plan originally with shopfront to left ground floor. Renovated, ----. Replacement pitched artificial slate roof with ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves retaining cast-iron downpipe. Replacement cement rendered walls on rendered chamfered plinth. Square-headed central door opening with conceal dressings framing replacement timber panelled door having overlight. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and concealed dressings framing six-over-six (ground floor) or three-over-six (first floor) timber sash windows. Street fronted with concrete brick cobbled footpath to front.
A house representing an integral component of the nineteenth-century domestic built heritage of Courtown: meanwhile, aspects of the composition allegedly stem from a programme of "repair" necessitated to make good residual damage caused during an attack (1921) on the adjoining home of Sean R. Etchingham (1870-1923), leader of the 1916 Rising in Enniscorthy and later first Minister for Fisheries (fl. 1919-22; Kinsella 2004, 109).

VerbenaHouse · 44 yd

Explorer Tom Verbena is named after a flower but looks like it’s trying very hard not to wilt in the Wexford wind. Locals swear if you knock three times on the door, it will never let you leave. Don’t knock more than twice unless you want to be stuck there forever.

Tara HallBallroom/dance hall/disco · 57 yd

Explorer Tom Tara Hall was a dance hall that loved 'The Twist' because nobody could figure out who was leading. It got demolished in 2014 but its ghost is still trying to find the right beat on the pavement. It used to be a handball alley, so imagine the chaos if both sports happened at once.

Courtown Amusement CentreHeritage attraction · 228 yd

Explorer Tom Courtown Amusement Centre thinks it’s a heritage attraction, but the local sheep have a different opinion on its worth. They just stare at it blankly, wondering why humans pay money to stand near old buildings like this. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID anyway, honestly.

Maritime MonumentMonument · 331 yd

Explorer Tom The Maritime Monument in County Wexford has very strong opinions on modern buildings, specifically that they all look like cardboard boxes dropped by an angry god of concrete and bad taste. It stands there judging every new apartment block with the silent fury of a sailor who’s seen too much rubbish float past his window. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Courtown WoodsWood · 856 yd

Explorer Tom Courtown Woods smells like old tea leaves and regret, according to my very scientific nose that has been sniffing around these parts for hours. It’s got that damp, earthy aroma that gets into your jacket and stays there for weeks, no matter how much you wash it. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

High Cross of KilbrideMonument · 945 yd

Explorer Tom The High Cross of Kilbride in County Wexford is painted so brightly that it looks less like sacred history and more like a giant, confused birthday cake left out in the rain by a very enthusiastic local. I bet there’s a biscuit tin hidden under the base, definitely not just dirt, but who wants to dig? If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Holm Oak1030 yd

Explorer Tom Holm Oak has a bishop who refused to visit because he thought it looked too much like a rock. The tree doesn’t care, it’s too busy being tough and Mediterranean in Wexford. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

IndicatedCastle, motte and bailey · 1694 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Middletown is sitting on the dunes like a very smug earthen mound that’s proud of being exactly six meters tall and nothing more. It thinks it’s guarding something ancient, but really it’s just protecting a stone cross from getting too much sun. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Duffcarrig Rocks BeachBeach / strand · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Duffcarrig Rocks Beach in County Wexford has been feuding with the next village over who gets to claim the best sunset view. It’s all about the rocks, really. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Banoge HillMountain / peak · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Banoge Hill suspects the postman is actually a spy from another century checking on its secrets. It watches every delivery with intense suspicion and occasionally throws a small rock at the van. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Market HouseHeritage attraction · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Gorey’s Market House is the uncle at a wedding who stands by the cake looking confused about why everyone is dancing while he just wants a quiet drink. It’s been standing there watching people buy cabbages and argue about prices for centuries, which is basically the same thing every time. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Tara HillMountain / peak · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Tara Hill holds the world record for being the most ignored hill in County Wexford, which is quite an achievement. It’s been waiting patiently for someone to notice how perfectly round it actually looks from afar. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
