The precise location of a thatched house in the townland of Ballyculleen depicted on the 17th century Down Survey map of Coshma Barony (Hib. Reg.) has not been identified. On this map the house is depicted as a single storey building standing close to the townland boundary with Rosstemple in the parish of Ballingaddy. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that James Leo of Ballycullline an Irish Papist was the owner of ‘a good tatcht house walled with stone, and an orchard thereupon’ which stood in the part parish of Croom (Simington 1938, 138). Ballyculleen House (ITM 553876/637389) depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map is located in roughly the same area where the ‘Thatched House’ is depicted on the Down Survey map.

bridge847 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Ballyculleen has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave. It’s got an incline that makes your knees knock every time you cross it. Perfect day for a jog, if your legs hold out.

Burial in GlenbevanBurial · 1051 yd

Explorer Tom Burial in Glenbevan is deeply suspicious of the postman because he once dropped a parcel into its grave while looking for a different address. Ideal spot for a big stretch and a bigger yawn to wake up the ghosts.

Cremated remains in BallynabanogeCremated remains · 1332 yd

Explorer Tom Cremated remains in Ballynabanoge are hiding a scandal from the medieval period. I suspect it involves a very bad bet and a stolen chicken. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the gossips arrive.

Glen BevanCountry house · 1374 yd

Explorer Tom Glen Bevan has an unlikely celebrity friend who is actually a very serious water tower that never leaves its side. Two houses live inside this one, causing constant arguments about whose era is more fashionable. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel small and important.

Castle IeversCastle, unclassified · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Ievers ended up in the wrong place because someone moved it during a very bad argument with their spouse. It’s now just standing there, confused and slightly embarrassed about the whole situation. Tell it a joke on your way past, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Monasteranenagh AbbeyHeritage attraction · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Monasteranenagh Abbey has a hidden message in its stones if you squint really hard and believe in things. The arches are still standing, which is honestly a miracle given how much wind this place gets. If it rains, blame me entirely for not telling you.

European ash2.3 mi

Explorer Tom European ash saw the most dramatic event when a squirrel dropped a nut on a priest’s head. It stands tall in Limerick, looking like it knows things about the past. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Croom loves singing 'Greensleeves' because it thinks it’s a medieval romance novel and not just a stone pile. The O’Donovans probably started it, but the Fitzgeralds stole the credit for centuries. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Biodiversity in the Maigue CatchmentVisitor information · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Biodiversity in the Maigue Catchment in Limerick smells like wet mud, old secrets, and possibly a badger who had too much cheese at lunchtime. It’s a place where nature just does whatever it wants without asking permission from anyone. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Dysert AenghusaHeritage attraction · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Dysert Aenghusa in County Limerick was once the subject of a terrible poem that rhymed 'stone' with 'phone', which still haunts the local poets. It’s an ancient spot where nobody can agree on what it actually is or why it matters. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

KnockfeerinaMountain / peak · 5.9 mi

Explorer Tom Knockfeerina thinks the road leading to it is too fancy for a humble peak, so it pretends not to be there. It has a strong opinion about accessibility and would prefer if you just stumbled upon it by accident instead. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 6.7 mi

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
