Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1920, with gabled porch to front elevation and having two-bay single-storey addition to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered brick chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and timber eaves course. Painted roughcast rendered walls, with render platbands to façade dividing storeys. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and tripartite timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows. Replacement uPVC window to porch. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to rear and to addition, with cut-stone sills. Square-headed door opening to porch with timber panelled door. Outbuildings to east comprising four-bay, formerly five-bay single-storey block to west with pitched slate roof and rendered chimneystacks, rubble sandstone walls and square-headed openings with timber caement windows and timber battened doors. Three-bay two-storey block to north with single-bay single-storey lean-to addition to east gable, pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods, rubble sandstone walls, first floor having vertical vents and square-headed pitching door, and ground floor having segmental-arched vehicular entrances with sandstone voussoirs. Rubble limestone boundary wall to road.
The large size and solid form of this house make it a notable feature. It retains its tripartite timber sash windows, which enhance the form of the building. The outbuildings add context to the site and are themselves well constructed buildings retaining many original features and materials.

kiln164 yd

Explorer Tom Kiln in Dromcummer More is set into the hillside, probably hiding from the damp. It used to bake lime, now it bakes excuses for being empty. Tell me you found a biscuit tin, not gold.

Fulacht fia in Dromcummer MoreFulacht fia · 816 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Dromcummer More was recorded by Bowman near a fort. There’s no visible trace now, but it’s supposed to be 80 yards north of the ringfort. A bit of a hunt if you want to find it.

St Fursey's WellSpring · 866 yd

Explorer Tom St Fursey's Well is in a rivalry with a more famous place that gets all the tourists and the fancy gift shops nearby. It’s quite bitter about that actually, so stick around for the light changing, it's a show that doesn't need any extra marketing or expensive signage to look good enough.

Clonmeen Court (Site of)House, fortified house · 982 yd

Explorer Tom Clonmeen Court is playing hard to get, sitting on its plateau and pretending it’s not just a flat patch of dirt with some quarry vibes. It claims it has an imaginary twin across the sea that judges its fashion choices daily. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1101 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Clonmeen North disappeared between 1842 and 1897, leaving no visible trace behind. It was once a possession of Philip O Mol. Now it’s just a dotted line on an old map and a lot of speculation about what used to stand there.

Burial ground in KillarushBurial ground · 1271 yd

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Killarush would tell the place that replaced it to stop showing off because it used to be the only one in town. There’s a disused road called Robber's Lane leading to it, which sounds like a great name for a very shady dating app. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Clonmeen HouseHouse · 1707 yd

Explorer Tom Clonmeen House would post a selfie of its entrance bay and caption it 'living my best architectural life.' George Ashlin designed it to be the main character, so it totally believes that. Don’t forget to like its ornamentation!

Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Kanturk Castle in County Cork has a bird that refuses to leave no matter how much you wave at it. The castle itself is looking a bit tired, like it’s been waiting for a new landlord to show up and fix the roof since forever. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Mount Hillary - Knightfield LoopWalking route · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Hillary - Knightfield Loop is where the Vikings got hopelessly lost looking for their ship and ended up sleeping in the bracken instead. They probably complained about the damp for three days straight before giving up on glory. Find a date carved somewhere and feel incredibly clever for no reason.

Mount Hillary - Father Murphy LoopWalking route · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Hillary - Father Murphy Loop was skipped by the bishop because he said it looked too much like a headache waiting to happen. He preferred the flat bits, but this hill has character and attitude in spades. Stand back, squint hard, and it looks exactly like a crumbling castle.

Burial ground in AssolasBurial ground · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Assolas, County Cork, is just a dip in the ground with no markers, which is very polite for a place full of dead soldiers. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

European Yew2.5 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has a grudge against a bishop who refused to visit because he said it looked 'too pretentious'. The yew never forgave him and still holds its breath. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it.
