Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1920. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills to front (north-west) elevation, having rendered lintels and painted block-and-start brick surrounds. Two-over-two and four-over-four pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed window openings with render sills to side (south-west, north-east) elevations having four-over-four pane timber sliding sash window (north-east) and timber casement window (south-west). Square-headed door opening to front elevation with raised render surround, having timber battened door and rendered stepped approach with wall. Dry stone boundary wall surmounted by hedge enclosing garden to front.
Modestly sized structure showing evidence of conscious design. Openings enhanced and emphasised by brick dressings. Retains much heritage fabric including windows, door and roof slates. Probably built for a landless labourer following the passing of the various Land Acts from 1880 onward.

Bee-boles in Cappagh (kinsale By.)Bee-boles · 774 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bee-boles in Cappagh: Twelve identical arched recesses built into a wall, arranged like a very strict beehive with no room for error. Go before the tourists find out they’re basically stone mailboxes for busy insects.

TowerDesigned landscape, belvedere · 886 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Tower in Cappagh is overgrown and two-storey. It’s got a pointed door on the north side. Looks like it’s been waiting for a knight to show up, but he got lost in the bog again.

Ringrone CastleCastle · 1022 yd

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!

Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1026 yd

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!

Stork's NestHouse · 1104 yd

Explorer Tom Stork's Nest in Dromderrig sounds like a bird problem I want to solve. It overlooks Kinsale from 1780, which is impressive. Peek through the window and tell me if there are feathers everywhere.

almshouse1121 yd

Explorer Tom Almshouse in Dromderrig was built for widows back in 1682 by Sir Robert Southwell. Now it houses elderly folks, so it’s basically a grandpa’s house. In a job interview, it would say: 'I’ve got experience with quiet people.' Bring your patience.

Kinsale Alms HousesVisitor information · 1149 yd

Explorer Tom Kinsale Alms Houses has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

World War I MemorialMemorial · 1237 yd

Explorer Tom World War I Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Battle of KinsaleMajor battlefield · 1287 yd

Explorer Tom Battle of Kinsale in County Cork was just a long, wet siege where everyone waited for help that never really showed up. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Actons GardensGarden · 1297 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Actons Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Kinsale Children PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1301 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Kinsale Children Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
