Detached five-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1790. Single-bay single-storey lean-to to rear (east) elevation. Pitched thatched roof with red brick chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with painted stone sills. Square-headed opening with half-glazed timber panelled door. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to north with two-bay single-storey outbuilding adjoining west elevation. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Painted rubble limestone walls. Square-headed door openings. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding to east having pitched slate roof. Painted rubble limestone walls. Square-headed arrow slit window opening. Square-headed opening having double-leaf timber battened doors. Square-headed door opening.
This house is a notable example of the Irish vernacular building tradition. It retains much of its original long, low form with simple proportions. Features such as the sash windows and thatched roof help to preserve the original appearance of the house, whilst the outbuildings contribute positively to the site creating a group of related domestic structures.

Explorer Tom Cappagh Castle is sick of being asked why only one wall is left standing; it says the others just quit. It’s basically a very tall, lonely slice of history sitting on a rock. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Flat cemetery in CroaghFlat cemetery · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Croagh smells like ancient ash and pure mystery, according to my very scientific nose. A pipeline dug up one little pit, so it’s basically a gas leak with history. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick would have made Saint Patrick blush with its ancient, stoic attitude. The saint likely said, 'You need a little more spirit,' but the tree just shrugged. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Flat cemetery in Kiltenan SouthFlat cemetery · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kiltenan South saw the whole parish argue about who owned which pit. Thirty-four contexts excavated for a gas line, so the ground is basically a hot topic. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Desmond CastleHeritage attraction · 4.2 miEuropean Beech4.2 mi

Explorer Tom European Beech in County Limerick is showing off its glossy leaves like a fresh coat. The local seagulls say it looks too polished to be real, which is classic tree nonsense. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
