Detached five-bay single-storey with attic house, built c.1815. Outhouse and additions to west elevation. Recently renovated and now in use as holiday home. Pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Smooth rendered walls over granite rubble work with occasional stones protruding. Square-headed window openings with replacement one-over-one and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with concrete sills. Square-headed openings to entrances with replacement timber glazed doors. Outhouse with single-pitched roof of corrugated iron and dry stone granite walls.
This recently refurbished house retains much of its original form and character, primarily through the use of new but traditional-style materials as seen in the thatch and replacement timber sliding sash windows.

Explorer Tom Doohulla quay is guarded by a superstition that says if you drop a fish, the next one will be made of plastic. The local craftsmanship here is top-notch stone work for catching imaginary boats. Tell me if the gossip I mentioned was true.

Saint Mary's Church (Moyrus)Church/chapel · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Church in Roundstone is stuck in a feud over who owns the best view of the village. The rubble stone exterior looks like it was built by someone who really liked texture and hiding places. Stand at the bottom to get the full dramatic effect.

Explorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
