Detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1940, with flat roof extension to rear (east). Pitched pantile roof with rendered chimneystacks and copings with uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to end bays and tripartite window with central six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and three-over-three pane flanking sliding sash sidelights. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door. Set within own grounds enclosed by rendered wall with square-profile gate piers.
Modest rural dwellings such as this were built to a standard plan by the local authority in the mid twentieth century. They are simple in design, following the lines of vernacular architecture, but incorporate features such as the tripartite timber sash windows and pantile roof which formalise their appearance. This is a particularly interesting example of this type, as it retains much of its original fabric intact.

farm house726 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Lackabane is modest and unadorned, which makes it secretly the coolest one on the block. It probably thinks the road leading to it is a bit of a mess. Tell me if there’s a cow nearby; I’d love a picture of one judging my driving skills.

St Joesph's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1197 yd

Explorer Tom St Joesph's Roman Catholic Church in Fornaght is wearing crenellations like a castle crown, which is weird for a country church but very cool anyway. It’s got pointed arches that point at you. Nod respectfully!

New TipperaryVisitor information · 1464 yd

Explorer Tom New Tipperary hosted a dance once where someone actually fell into the well and didn't apologise for two weeks. It’s now just a little info point that’s seen better centuries. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Ballyvodane Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ballyvodane Castle is fragmentary remains in a pasture, much of it bulldozed some years ago. Part of the north wall survives with a base batter. No trace of the south or west walls. It looks like a castle that got hit by a very small, very angry tractor.

Saint Bartholomew's WellSpring · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Bartholomew's Well claims its unlikely celebrity friend was a very grumpy hermit who used to live in a nearby cave. He only ever spoke to the water and told it off for being too noisy during lunchtime, it's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting with such strange neighbours.

Lyradane MountainMountain / peak · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Lyradane Mountain in Cork is hiding a tunnel that leads straight to the best pub in town, or so the stories go. It’s got that mysterious vibe where you swear you can hear pints clinking from inside the rocks. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Oldcastle WoodWood · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Oldcastle Wood has a secret talent for making you feel like you’re in a very old, very damp movie. It’s got that mysterious vibe that makes you check over your shoulder constantly. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost or just fancying yourself.

Knockduff Wind FarmVisitor information · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Knockduff Wind Farm in County Cork has a local who swears he invented the wind turbine before it was cool, which is exactly why I don’t trust him. The blades spin so fast they’re creating their own weather system, or at least that’s what the locals say. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Carrignamuck Tower HouseCastle · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork is standing in the grounds of Dripsey Castle, looking slightly out of place. It got hit by Lord Broghill's cannonballs in 1650, but I think it just pretended to be a modern art installation. Now it looks like something you'd find in a very confusing dream. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

St Olans WellHoly well · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

LisheenbegFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Lisheenbeg is a heavily overgrown circle with an entrance on the east side. There’s an underground passage inside, which could be a cave or just a hole in the ground. Don't get lost down there!

Mullinhassig WoodWood · 6.6 mi

Explorer Tom Mullinhassig Wood clearly got left in the wrong bin by some careless cartographer. It’s standing there looking confused, like it wandered over from a different county entirely. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch if you dare.
