Catholic Church of Saint John the BaptistPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 81 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist in Killeagh is actually a parochial house from eighteen-eighty. It’s got this crazy irregular roofline that looks like it was built by an architect with a fever dream.

P. LynchHouse · 155 yd

Explorer Tom P. Lynch in Aghadoe has ornate render detailing and a tripartite shopfront that makes it stand out in the streetscape. It looks like two lads made a bet in the pub that they could build something fancy, and one of them won. The unified front is strong enough to push back against any modern nonsense.

Farrells WellHoly well · 188 yd

Explorer Tom Farrells Well in Lagile is on a slope with very little information, which fits its mysterious vibe perfectly. It’s just there, existing quietly while you wonder what it actually does all day. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt over the silence.

Inchiquin Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is a round tower sitting right by the river. It has a wicker-centred dome that’s mostly broken. The windows are splayed out like they’re trying to see everything. Watch out for the drawbar socket; it’s higher than your feet!

Castlemartyr CastleCastle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Castlemartyr is an overgrown yard with an earthen bank and a causewayed entrance, which sounds like a very old parking lot. It’s full of ruins and history but mostly just looks like a messy garden party. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
