What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay single-storey house, built c. 1890. The house is finished in render. The replacement front door is panelled and part glazed and it sits in a slightly advancing bay. Window openings are flat-headed and have a variety of timber casement frames. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate with cast-iron rainwater goods; eaves are overhanging with timber fascias. The house faces the road and is slightly set back behind a small overgrown garden.
The house is in original condition. It contributes to the streetscape’s 19th-century atmosphere. If lost the town’s heritage would be the poorer.

Ballinacor HouseHouse · 121 yd

Explorer Tom Ballinacor House in Tinahely is locked in a bitter feud with the rain because it lost its original windows. It looks like a small farmhouse that got dressed up for a fancy party. Tell the sky to stop crying and check the gutters.

Bank of IrelandHouse · 162 yd

Explorer Tom Bank of Ireland in Tinahely would post on social media that it’s maintaining its enclosure better than any other square in town, which is quite arrogant for a building. It contributes to the rhythm of Dwyer Square with its well-preserved form and character. Smile at the camera if you see it today.

IndicatedEnclosure · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyraheen is just a sharp scarc that might be an enclosure or might be a landscape feature, which is the kind of uncertainty that drives archaeologists to drink. It’s sitting at the edge of a plantation, so it has a hidden message in its stones that probably says 'please stop guessing'. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Sessile Oak1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Wicklow would ace any job interview because it has over two hundred years of continuous employment history. Its resume is basically 'stood here, grew bigger, survived storm, still standing,' which is pretty impressive for a tree. It doesn’t need a LinkedIn profile; its roots are the best networking tool you can get. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

(Site of) Raymond CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Raymond Castle in Killaveny would win the county fair’s ‘Most Confused Object’ prize every single year without even trying hard at all. Everyone swears they saw it once, then swore they didn’t when the judges showed up with tape measures. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

KilcromerFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Kilcromer has had so many names that it probably just gives up and lets you call it whatever you want. It’s an oval shape with three house foundations inside, like a tiny village that forgot to invite me. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

1798 Lacey Brothers MemorialMemorial · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom The 1798 Lacey Brothers Memorial would cope brilliantly on a reality show because it knows exactly how to look important without saying a word. It’s got that vibe where you respect it but also want to hug it. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Sweet Chestnut2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Wicklow was once the headquarters for a matchmaker who paired off locals based on how well their leaves matched in color. She’d sit under its canopy, judging everyone’s love lives with a critical eye and a sharp tongue. The tree still holds onto the secrets of every couple that met beneath its boughs. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Luke O'Toole MemorialMemorial · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Luke O'Toole Memorial has a very strong opinion of the road that leads to it, specifically that it’s too narrow for your ego. It’s standing there looking like it’s seen everything and is tired of explaining itself. Bring your own legend, I've run out and this stone isn't sharing.

Annagh HillMountain / peak · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom Annagh Hill hosted a fake royal visit where the king turned out to be a local baker in a wig. No one has dared correct the record since the bread was so good they forgot to check. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Clonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Clonmore Castle in Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat and nobody will check your ID.

Eagle HillMountain / peak · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Eagle Hill in County Carlow took about forty cups of tea to build, according to local legend which is mostly made up nonsense. There is a cross on top, so it definitely has a point to make. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
