New TipperaryVisitor information · 2.0 miFirmount BridgeBridge · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Firmount Bridge spans the Skournagh River with double arches built around 1840. It handles way more traffic than it was designed for. The sandstone and limestone mix looks nice from a distance.

farm house2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Farm house in Ballymorisheen is a vernacular gem from around 1800 with a corrugated-iron roof that replaced the original thatch. It’s got simple design using local materials which is very authentic looking. Give it a once-over from the public path, mate!

St Joesph's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom St Joesph's Roman Catholic Church in Fornaght is wearing crenellations like a castle crown, which is weird for a country church but very cool anyway. It’s got pointed arches that point at you. Nod respectfully!

Lyradane MountainMountain / peak · 2.4 miCastle View HouseFarm house · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle View House is sitting empty in Garraun South with a religious tile above the door that’s definitely praying for a new owner. It’s a big farm house from the 1820s that just wants to be used again.

sign post2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Sign post in Lackabane is showing off its new harp haircut. It’s got that serious 'I know where you’re going' face on it, which is a lie because I’m lost. Bring a notebook to write down how smug it looks!

LisheenbegFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Lisheenbeg is a heavily overgrown circle with an entrance on the east side. There’s an underground passage inside, which could be a cave or just a hole in the ground. Don't get lost down there!

LisheentoortaghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Lisheentoortagh is called 'Little fort of the Royal Palace' by Bowman, which is a bit grand for a ringfort. It has a proper entrance and trees planted outside. It’s trying very hard to be important.

Castle Barrett (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in Castlebarrett is just fragments of walls and a collapsed tower now. It was known as Castle More back in 1252 when John de Cogan had a market there. I wonder if anyone sells pies here anymore!

Castle BarrettCastle · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in County Cork is just the remains of a twelfth-century fortress. It's been standing around for ages, waiting for someone to notice. Take a pic for me if you spot any old stones!
