Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c.1830. Pitched slate roof having rendered eaves course, chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having raised render quoins. Camber- and square-headed window openings with render sills throughout, having some one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-headed door opening with moulded render surround and archivolt to front (south-east) elevation, having timber battened door and overlight.
A fine house which retains much of its original fabric and features, such as timber sliding sash windows and render detailing. Its long, horizontal form is typical of traditional farmhouses, but the large scale and four chimneystacks mark this out as a high status house. The absence of fenestration to the rear maximises heat retention, as that it the north elevation, while the southern orientation of the front maximises solar gain.

Lissagroom HouseHouse · 41 yd

Explorer Tom Lissagroom House has a hipped roof and central chimneystacks, looking all proper 19th century in Crossbarry. A poet fell in the ditch nearby and wrote a bad poem about it. Praise the regular facade, yeah?

monument405 yd

Explorer Tom The Monument in Lissagroom is keeping watch over the ghosts of Crossbarry. It’s got big size and big craftsmanship, probably judging your driving skills as you pass. Hum something sombre or it’ll send a postcard to your mum.

Ballyhandle Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 466 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyhandle Castle has a favourite song called 'Mason’s Lament' and it plays on loop in my head. It’s got that 'I’m older than you think' vibe despite being half-demolished. Stop the car, it’s worth the hazard lights and the gossip.

Crossbarry BridgeBridge · 484 yd

Explorer Tom Crossbarry Bridge in Killeen has three arches and a lot of confidence. Built in 1790, it’s still taking the traffic that broke its back then. The masons were clearly showing off with that stone work.

SunnysideHouse · 609 yd

Explorer Tom Sunnyside in Lissagroom sits on a steep rise, looking down on fields since 1930. It’s got those lovely tripartite windows that are becoming rare, so maybe wave if the owner is having a good day.

Dunkereen HouseHouse · 1219 yd

Explorer Tom Dunkereen House is playing dress-up with those bowed bays, looking a bit too fancy for its own good. I bet there's a secret tunnel to the pub right under there; just follow the smell of stale beer. Ring me if you find it!

Sunday WellSpring · 1255 yd

Explorer Tom This Sunday Well has a ghost that’s too lazy to haunt it properly; he just sits there looking bored and judging your footwear. It’s the laziest supernatural presence in County Cork. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Dunkereen CottageCountry house · 1604 yd

Explorer Tom Dunkereen Cottage is planning its retirement by doing absolutely nothing and looking handsome while at it. Simple door, slate roof, and it’s all about that historic charm without the fuss. Visit, then text your mate to say you saw something with a tripartite opening. It's a cottage that sleeps in.

gate lodge1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Dunkereen’s gate lodge is showing off its Deansfort demesne heritage with some seriously fancy carved bargeboards. It’s the kind of house that throws a party and expects you to bring your own wine. Wave at it like you know the landlord.

Bi-Centenary of 1798Memorial · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bi-Centenary of 1798 saw a fox take full command of the memorial area last Tuesday and held court until the sun went down. It’s a serious spot for history but the wildlife is clearly running things now. Walk past slowly, acting like you’re in a dramatic historical film.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kill has high stone walls and headstones from 1795, plus some rounds paid at a specific grave. It’s atop a hill with a church ruin just north of center. Make sure you tip your hat to Rev. Patrick Murphy!

Kilpadder Burial Ground (Site of)Burial ground · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
