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 in Currymount would tell a teenager that the 1800s were basically just people arguing about who had the biggest chandelier while wearing tight clothes. It’s got those dramatic Wyatt windows that look like they’re about to whisper secrets. If you catch it staring at its reflection, just mirror its expression.

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 yd

Explorer Tom Churchtown Trails has a secret talent for making people walk in circles without them realizing it’s happening on purpose. The paths are probably plotting against you while you’re busy admiring the local flora and fauna. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Lady's WellSpring · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Lady's Well would cope terribly on a reality show because it refuses to give up its spot and just splashes at the cameras for hours. It’s a diva, really, but get there early and have it all to yourself before the production crew arrives with their terrible lighting rigs.

Lisgriffin 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 mi

Explorer Tom Buttevant Rail Disaster memorial would tell its younger self to slow down next time or at least check the brakes properly before departing. It’s a solemn spot but with a hint of 'we could have done better' energy. Bring someone who’ll believe anything you say about trains.

Sycamore2.5 mi

Explorer Tom This Sycamore in County Cork would survive a zombie attack by just standing very still and hoping they forget it exists. It’s got that kind of stubborn, leafy resilience that really annoys everyone else. Ideal spot for making a dramatic phone call to your mate.

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 two armies had a massive row in 1642, and honestly, I think they just wanted different chips at the chippy. Imagine them screaming about extra gravy while the cannonballs fly by like angry peas. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

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.
