Detached three-bay single-storey direct-entry vernacular house, built c.1850. Pitched roof with recent corrugated metal and rendered barge coping, rendered chimneystack to south gable, uPVC rainwater goods. Rubble stone walls, concrete sills to window openings. Timber casement windows flanking timber sheeted entrance door. Recent timber boundary fence.
A small two-roomed house on prominent corner site at a T-junction, of a vernacular type once widespread in rural Ireland, but now increasingly rare. It has a simple symmetrical elevation and retains its historic form with small openings and textured roughcast finish. The house makes a strong contribution to the architectural character of the crossroads, and is a reminder of the scale and form of traditional rural housing in the past.

IndicatedEnclosure · 281 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cullow was designed by a mother-in-law who couldn’t decide between an oval and a circle, so she compromised terribly. It’s so overgrown you can’t even see what it’s hiding. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life of indecision.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CullowFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 331 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cullow bragged about surviving a storm but actually just huddled under a tree like a scared cat. It’s got drystone masonry on the outside, which is its way of wearing armour. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she’ll know the real story.

St Mary’s Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 560 yd

Explorer Tom St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Cullow replaced its fiery predecessor with something far more elaborate. William Hague really let his imagination run wild here. Picnic nearby if you can find a dry spot.

St Patrick’s Church KildrumfertonChurch/chapel · 1005 yd

Explorer Tom St Patrick’s Church Kildrumferton is showing off its tower like a peacock because Lord Farnham gave him the land. He’d tell you secrets if he could talk after two pints.

Rectory GardenGarden · 1013 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom The Rectory Garden in County Cavan likely hides cozy nooks where vicars secretly grow prize-winning cabbages alongside their sermon notes.

Bawn in DuffcastleBawn · 1343 yd

Explorer Tom Bawn in Duffcastle is marked as a fort on the Down Survey. It’s perched on a scarp like it’s judging your parking skills. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

LatnadronaghMountain / peak · 1660 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.
