Detached three-bay single-storey former labourer’s cottage, built c. 1890, having lean-to outbuilding to south gable. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with painted stone sills. Square-headed door opening with limestone plinths and timber battened door. Rendered boundary walls with rendered piers and caps having cast-iron double-leaf gate to site. Set back slightly from the road.

This small labourer’s cottage is typical in form and style of such structures in Ireland. Its functional role is emphasised by the lack of ornamentation to the façade. The building is enhanced by the retention of the slate roof and timber sash windows.

Hollymount HouseHouse · 300 yd

Explorer Tom Hollymount House in Cullenagh has that sombre elegance vibe going on. It’s got a lean-to that’s lost its roof, which is very dramatic, and the windows get smaller as you go up, just like your patience.

Explorer Tom Another Fulcht fia in Coolmucky in Coolmucky was noted by Windele in a field to the northwest. The exact location is unknown now, so just imagine a big heap of burnt stones somewhere out there.

Glenabo BridgeBridge · 881 yd

Explorer Tom Glenabo Bridge in Coolmucky is finely executed, which means someone actually cared about how it looked back then. I swear it smells faintly of old trout and regret according to my nose. Carry on walking, but keep an eye out for any suspicious fish jumping out.

Man-made underground passage in Coolmucky (condons and Clongibbon By., Fermoy Par.)Man-made underground passage · 882 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Coolmucky was found during ploughing in 1981 when a slab disturbed the cavity. Now there’s no visible trace, just the memory of a hole. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Castle Hyde (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Hyde in Castlehyde East, County Cork is wrapped in ivy so thick it looks like it’s trying to disappear. Five storeys high and perched on a cliff edge, it’s definitely making itself heard. Check if that triangular spur is still lurking in the corner!

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fermoy is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering news that some guy’s bones were found under a house nearby. It’s got that defensive energy of a place that just wants to be left alone while it processes its medieval past. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
