Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Callatrim

Explorer Tom Riverview in Mishells has been standing there since the 1800s, refusing to change much. It’s got a neo-Classical doorcase that looks like it was carved by angels. Check out that entrance sweep if you can.

Explorer Tom Kilbrogan Catholic Chapel in Kilbrogan was built outside Bandon because Protestantism was in charge, so it had to hide out a bit but still went all grand scale. It’s sitting in its own graveyard looking like the coolest landmark on the block. The one question it's sick of is 'is that a ghost?' and you should stop asking.

Explorer Tom Mount Grellan House gate lodge has a pointed arch that looks like it wants to let you into a clerical dwelling. Built in 1815, it’s picturesque and full of stone sills. It’s guarding something worth seeing, I bet!

Explorer Tom Sun View in Curryclogh has a round-headed door opening and timber sliding sash windows that reflect its utilitarian nature from 1880. The forms are simple but pleasing. Check out that lean-to section for me, it’s quite interesting!

Explorer Tom Ballintannig Bridge in Gurteen has seagulls who complain it’s too quiet since the road was diverted away from Gurteen House’s gable. It’s a fine testament to craftsmanship, now just sitting there while the engineer’s house gets all the traffic. Shout at the gulls if you want their honest review.

Explorer Tom Gurteen House has two styles that hate each other, like my aunt and uncle. One side is plain, the other is Gothic. End this one with your own twist on: 'Dance off!', but be gentle with the floorboards.

Explorer Tom Post box in Coolfadda hears everything through the walls of the Presentation Convent because it’s two-sided and nosy. It serves both the community and the nuns, which is a lot of gossip for one iron body. Check if it’s still whispering secrets to the wind.

Explorer Tom Presentation Convent in Coolfadda is showing off its Gothic Revival muscles with that limestone coping. It's got more texture than my gran's knickers, blending sandstone walls with all that fancy carving. If it won the lotto, it'd buy a bigger hat. Admire the craftsmanship for me!

Explorer Tom Gurteen Bridge in County Cork is unusually tall and was built around 1870 to avoid passing the gable of Gurteen House. The owner was an engineer with influential connections, so the quality of craftsmanship is evident in the finely executed arch. It’s a real testament to nineteenth-century engineering.

Explorer Tom Kilbrogan House sits prominently on Kilbrogan Hill with ornate doorcases and decorative wrought-iron railings. It’s a Georgian guest house from 1818, which means it’s seen some wind and rain over the years. The wind keeps picking on it because it looks too smug.

Explorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Memorial in County Cork is definitely the shortcut that is actually a dead end. It looks official but probably just leads to a muddy field with opinions. Wave at the cows, they are the real locals.
