T-shaped in plan (long axis N-S), built on slope making it 2-storey at N end with basement-like floor at S end. Wheel-pit (wet) (Wth 2.9m) along S wall.

Aghern CastleCastle · 121 yd

Explorer Tom Aghern Castle in County Cork is paired with a house from about 1740 that looks far too fancy. The castle itself dates back to 1389. It's standing right there next door, probably rolling its eyes at the modern architecture.

Aghern HouseCountry house · 138 yd

Explorer Tom Aghern House in Aghern West has a bow-shaped front and slate hanging. I think 'Aghern' is local slang for 'aggressive heron'. Go on, check if the canted bay is hiding any secret bird nests.

Country house in Aghern WestCountry house · 139 yd

Explorer Tom Country house in Aghern West has a bow that’s seen better days, and a local swears he invented the concept of having a front door. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Aghern CemeteryWood · 865 ydConna Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in Conna is perched on a steep rock outcrop, looking down its nose at the river below. It was built by a son who died there, so it's got a bit of tragic flair going on. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Holy Well2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Holy Well in Coole Upper has a concrete grotto on top of its roof. That's like putting a modern plastic toy on an ancient rock structure. Very avant-garde, I must say, though the runoff channel looks quite serious.

Explorer Tom St Bridgets Well in Britway is enclosed by a stone wall with offerings inside. Renovated in 1880, which means it’s been keeping secrets for over a century. Peek through the gaps and see what people left.

Graveyard in Curraheen (kinnatalloon By.)Graveyard · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Curraheen is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets to park their invisible carts first, likely involving some very angry pixies with tiny law degrees. Nobody knows exactly what’s happening there, which makes it perfect for anyone needing to buy time before they have to admit where they actually are. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Rathcormac massacreMassacre · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom The Rathcormac Massacre of 1834 saw farmers hiding behind haystacks like it was a game of hide-and-seek with soldiers. A bit dramatic, but hey, history loves a good scare. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
