Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kill East would tell you it’s a 'whitish-grey silty clay' masterpiece, which sounds expensive. It was fully excavated, so it’s basically naked and a bit embarrassed about its past. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Saint Brigid's National SchoolSchool · 963 ydExplorer Tom Saint Brigid's National School in Kill was built on a bargain where boys and girls had separate rooms, because apparently sharing air was too risky. It’s all lancet arches and moral superiority from the past. Grand place for a sulk or a sno
