Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1740, having single-storey lean-to extension to east elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render plinth. Square-headed window openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, half-glazed timber panelled door and timber battened door to extension. Roughcast rendered garden wall to front of house with square-profile piers. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to yard with pitched corrugated-iron roof, rendered walls and square-headed openings with timber battened fittings. Rendered square-profile piers and boundary wall to site entrance.
Interesting façade created by small openings and large expanses of blank wall. Small openings and simple form indicative of vernacular origins, and also possibly an early date. Given context and enhanced by stocky piers and outbuilding to yard.

Fulacht fia in WhiterockFulacht fia · 484 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Whiterock is playing hard to get, mate. The record says the info hasn't even been uploaded yet, which is a bit rich for a burnt stone heap. Give me a shout if you spot it hiding.

Enclosure in BallyedekinEnclosure · 1496 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyedekin is just a cropmark, meaning it’s visible from the sky but invisible to your feet. It’s a perfect circle of earth that’s basically a digital ghost. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept while pretending you see something there.

Stump HillHouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Stump Hill is a classic U-plan house with hipped roofs that are doing their best to look symmetrical. It’s got a walled garden with a low arch that reminds me of a mill race. Stand back and take in the whole grounds!

Cahermone CastleCastle · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cahermone Castle in County Cork is hiding its secrets well. It's recorded as a castle, but I suspect it's just a rock with an ego. Snap a pic if you find any mystery there.

Cahermone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cahermone Castle in County Cork has a stone in the nearby farmyard bearing the date 1579, which is ancient history by our standards. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct your pronunciation or judge your accent.

BilberryHouse · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Bilberry is an Italianate dream with a hipped roof and zero chill. The wind keeps picking on it because it’s too pretty to be ignored. Tell the house to stop posing or I’ll take its picture from below!

Jameson Distillery MidletonHeritage attraction · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Jameson Distillery Midleton has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Princesstree3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.
