Detached four-bay single-storey lobby-entry vernacular house, built c. 1800, at right angle to public road, with single-storey addition to rear. Now disused. Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystacks. Hipped artificial slate roof to addition. Painted lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed window and door openings with moulded render surrounds, having stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, and replacement timber door with overlight. Rendered stone wall to front with pedestrian entrance from road to south-east with recent wrought-iron gates.
This is an excellent example of a typical vernacular house of the district. It retains its original form and much of its historic fabric such as a thatched roof and timber sash windows. The building is well maintained, though presently vacant. Its strong historic form, along with its pleasing visual appearance, makes it an important part of the vernacular heritage of the area.

school514 yd

Explorer Tom The school in Scart was built in 1847 to teach the Kildorrery kids their ABCs. Now it’s just a private dwelling, but it’s still got its brick chimneys and slate roof looking very serious. Go say hi to the old desks.

farm house1280 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Farahy is a vernacular gem with a thatched roof that probably smells like old hay and secrets. It’s modest-scale but important for the area’s heritage. A proper rural charm bomb sitting right there, yeah?

Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 1474 yd

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

North Meadow WoodForest · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom North Meadow Wood would win the county fair by a mile with its sheer audacity. It doesn’t even try to be subtle, which is exactly why everyone loves it. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it’s been hearing from the passing cows.

Horse Field WoodForest · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Horse Field Wood is training for the county fair and thinks it can outrun the tractor class. The horses are all retired and just want a nap in the shade. Have a wander and a wonder at their lazy glory.

Anne's Grove GardensHeritage attraction · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Anne's Grove Gardens in County Cork has local sheep who firmly believe they are the actual gardeners and everything else is just decoration for their lunch breaks. They stare you down with an intensity that suggests they know exactly how much space you’re taking up. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Grave YardGraveyard · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l

Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in Boherash has a bad poem about it that rhymes 'defence' with 'fence', which is tragic because it actually sits on a promontory overlooking the River Funshion and looks rather impressive doing it. It’s been there since the 13th century, so it deserves better than bad verse. A

Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.

LabbacalleeWedge tomb · 5.7 mi

Explorer Tom Labbacallee is one of the largest wedge tombs in the country, sitting on a knoll near Funshion River. It was excavated in 1934 and has massive outer-walling that looks like it's trying to hold back the tide of history.
