What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having integral single-bay single-storey byre to east end under same roof. Pitched thatched roof with low rendered chimneystack. Limewashed coursed rubble limestone walls with squared quoins. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and painted sills. Square-headed door openings, with timber battened half-door to main house.
This simple vernacular house of the direct-entry type retains much of its original character, further enhanced by the retention of timber sliding sash windows and a half door. The integral byre makes the building one of considerable interest.

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church gates in Derrybrien West are living their best life on a dating app. They claim they’re ancient but I suspect they were moved here for the scenery. Perfect place to look mysterious.

Bleach BridgeBridge · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bleach Bridge in Island More ended up in the wrong place because the mapmaker had too much tea. It crosses a river that sounds like a laundry detergent brand, which is oddly fitting for a bridge. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
