Detached three-bay single-storey with dormer attic house, built c.1880, having flat-roofed porch to front (east), pitched roofed side entrance porch to side (south) and flat-roofed extension to rear (west). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door openings with timber panelled door to front porch and timber battened door to side porch.
Although extended, the modest form of this house remains apparent. The simple design draws from the vernacular tradition, seen in the wind break form of the entrance porch, off centre chimneystack and compact attic space. The large timber sliding sash windows and front door maybe have been added later, bringing formality and increased light to the entrance front.

LisnaguirruaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 548 yd

Explorer Tom Lisnaguirrua is a Fairy fort / earthen ringfort that’s been levelled into two low concentric rises. It looks like a target for darts. The maps show it as raised, but now it’s just a subtle bump in the tillage field.

Explorer Tom St Anns Well in Kilnamucky was used for a hydropathic establishment and is now covered in concrete. Some say it's named after Santan, a disciple of Finbarr, but honestly, I'm not sure who Santan even is!

Explorer Tom Blarney Castle in Blarney, County Cork has an L-shaped tower because someone added a wing and forgot to tell the other bits. It overlooks two rivers joining up. Very dramatic, very Irish.
