What is recorded here

Pair of semi-detached four-bay single-storey houses, built c.1930, with veranda entrance porches. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge cresting and red brick chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with red brick dressings and stone sills. Timber panelled doors.
This pair of houses are of apparent architectural form and design. Of particular interest are the veranda porches which enliven the regular form of the pair. They retain many original materials and features, such as the timber sash windows, red brick dressings, slate roof and terracotta ridge cresting. The variety of materials used in the construction of this pair add colour to the streetscape.

Dunsany Constabulary BarrackGarda station/constabulary barracks · 402 ydWelleran HouseWorker's house · 418 yd

Explorer Tom Welleran House is what happens when a Baron wants his staff to feel fancy but not too fancy. It’s got that tiered, graduating look that says 'we mean business' in limestone. Give it a cheeky wave from the road!

ClontaraWorker's house · 423 yd

Explorer Tom Clontara was built by a Baron who probably thought he was doing a favour. The windows shrink as you go up, like they’re shrinking away from responsibility. Peek at it quickly before you feel guilty!

Bullaun stone in DunsanyBullaun stone · 767 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Dunsany has a New Year’s resolution to stop getting sat on by tourists. The hollows look like it’s been waiting for a drink forever. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Dunsany CrossCross, Wayside cross · 767 ydDunsany CastleGate lodge · 776 yd

Explorer Tom Dunsany Castle gate lodge has a prophecy about it becoming a shopping mall that never came true. It’s dressed up as a ruin but really just wants to be taken seriously. Grand place for pretending you understand architecture while actually looking at your phone.

Moated site in Belpere (skreen By., Killeen Ed)Moated site · 959 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Moated site in Belpere is where a giant once lived, according to local legend that nobody actually believes. A silted moat surrounds a grassy circle, looking very smug about its lack of water. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
