Field system in Ballyvodock EastField system · 727 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field system in Ballyvodock East is just lines in the dirt, but they’re really old and pretentious about it. They surround a circular enclosure that’s basically levelled out, which is a bit like losing your house. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Ballyannan Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 781 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyannan Castle has circular towers at the corners and looks like it’s slowly sliding into the Owennacurra estuary, which is very on-brand for Cork architecture. The interior is overgrown, so the plants are taking over the management role. Go in good boots and better humour.

Ballyannan HouseHouse · 791 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyannan House dates back to c. 1740 and replaced an old castle. It’s got timber sash windows and a catslide roof. The Broderick family used to live here. See if you can spot the outbuilding wing!

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyvodock East has no visible surface trace, which is hilarious for something called a fort. The rabbits probably think it’s their personal playground now. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Explorer Tom Vent pipe in Castleredmond is wearing a decorative cowling like it’s going to a gala. It’s just breathing out steam all day long, though. A prophecy says it’ll one day sing opera, but we’ll see.

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.
