Detached T-plan five-bay single-storey house, built c. 1800, with single-bay single-storey pitched-roofed block to central bay of rear (west) elevation and single-bay-single-storey flat-roofed addition to rear, south bay. Now disused. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with rendered chimneystacks and render copings to gables. Painted rubble stone wall. Rendered walls to rear. Square-headed openings, some now infilled with timber. Square-headed opening to rear block with three-pane timber casement window. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door.

Employing long low form characteristic of vernacular houses in Ireland, brings interest to roadscape. Though in poor repair, retains much of its form, including unusual T-plan. Retains also notable casement window to rear.

Marloag WoodsWood · 458 yd Fulacht fia in WalterstownFulacht fia · 474 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Walterstown is a spread of burnt material visible in a ploughed field, about thirty meters long. It’s basically a giant ash pile that the wind keeps redistributing. If you see black specks in the soil, that might be it!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 483 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Walterstown has vanished so completely you’d think it went on holiday and never came back. All that’s left is an ivy-clad wall pretending to be something more substantial. Have a wander and a wonder if it ever existed.

Mass-rock in WalterstownMass-rock · 536 yd

Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Walterstown has a plaque from 1863 marking where priests hid during Penal times. It’s right by the river, looking all serious. Pop over and see if the cliff face still looks like it’s hiding secrets.

Japanese walnut614 yd

Explorer Tom Japanese walnut in County Cork was allegedly designed by a very opinionated mother-in-law who wanted it to be perfect. She got her wish, mostly. Get there early and have the whole thing all to yourself.

Holy Trinity Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 768 yd

Explorer Tom Holy Trinity Church of Ireland in Garranekinnefeake has stone carving so fine it could slice a potato without hurting it. It’s sitting on the coast looking all holy while the wind tries to blow its hat off. Bring your best solemn face for the photo!

gate lodge786 yd

Explorer Tom Gate lodge in Belgrove has rules for visitors that include 'don’t breathe'. It’s part of a garden empire now in poor repair. Tell the kids it’s a dragon gate before they get scared.

Glenmore StrandBeach / strand · 1502 yd Bagwells TowerCastle · 1741 yd

Explorer Tom Bagwells Tower in County Cork is also known as Lord Bandon's Tower, which sounds like a very posh nobleman who probably never touched a brick himself. It stands tall and mysterious in the Irish countryside for you to admire.
