Detached three-bay single-storey house with loft, built c. 1820, now disused. Pitched artificial slate roof with clay ridge tiles, limestone eaves course and limestone ashlar chimneystack. Coursed limestone rubble walls, with square-headed window openings having tooled limestone voussoirs with replacement timber fittings. Square-headed door openings to front and rear, with tooled limestone voussoirs.
This modest early nineteenth-century house is one of a group of such structures found along this road. These buildings may have been built to house estate workers from nearby country houses, or as part of a local charitable endeavour. The building retains a strong sense of its original historic character, with unadorned elevations punctuated by small square-headed window openings and narrow square-headed door opening.

Curraghmount HouseCountry house · 252 yd

Explorer Tom Curraghmount House is showing off its dramatic Wyatt windows like they’re Broadway spotlights. An MP used to live here, so expect some serious political posturing from the bricks. Give it a polite nod.

Enclosure in Tullig (orrery and Kilmore By.)Enclosure · 575 yd

Explorer Tom This enclosure in Tullig is just a cropmark, which means it smells like invisible old hay. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, but one where the paint has been scraped off by time.

Tullig HouseCountry house · 595 yd

Explorer Tom Tullig House in Tullig is throwing a silent party I didn't get invited to. The lodge gate is probably judging my outfit right now. Go with some style, love, don't let the iron gates down on us.

Churchtown TrailsVisitor information · 1496 ydLady's WellSpring · 1.3 miLisgriffin CastleCastle · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Lisgriffin Castle in County Cork is just standing there with a look that says 'I have seen things.' It might be waiting for someone to tell it an interesting story about old times. Tell me what you see!

Templeconnell Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Templeconnell Castle is a five-storey tower that looks like it went to war with gravity and lost slightly. The Percivals took over in 1656 after the Magners got tired of the drama. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and feel ancient.

Buttevant Rail DisasterMemorial · 1.9 miSycamore2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore in County Cork caused the whole parish to argue for a week over which side is prettier. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me and probably start shouting.

TowerDovecote · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Dovecote in Ballybeg East is full of pigeon holes stacked up to the ceiling. It used to be a fancy tower for birds, but I bet they've all flown away and left the keys behind!

Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

European Yew6.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.
