Lissagroom HouseHouse · 41 ydExplorer 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?
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LissagroomFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 309 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissagroom is basically just a rumor on a hill now, with some low rises pretending to be banks. People claim it’s older than the castle nearby, which is like saying your uncle is older than God. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
monument405 ydExplorer 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.
Crossbarry BridgeBridge · 484 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyhandleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 627 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhandle is pretending to be a garden because someone planted conifers inside it. It’s got a saucer-shaped interior that looks like it was made by a giant alien spatula. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Ladys WellHoly well · 1154 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Lissanisky is cement-fronted and no longer holy, sitting in boggy ground at the base of a rock face. It’s basically retired but still taking up space in the landscape. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here now that it’s gone quiet.
Enclosure in Lissanisky (kinalea By.)Enclosure · 1212 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Lissanisky is an oval pit with a causeway, sitting near some holy wells that probably smell like wet stone. The interior is slightly raised, which feels like a gentle invitation to sit down and think deep thoughts. Mind the moss!
Dunkereen HouseHouse · 1219 ydExplorer 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!
