What is recorded here

In level pasture, with views SW to Macgillycuddy's Reeks. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map at the junction of four fields. On the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map the SE and SW arcs have been straightened and incorporated into the field boundary system. The field boundaries have been removed and the enclosure is evident as a slight elevation (diam. c. 20m).

Explorer Tom Woodford in Lissyviggeen is triple-gabled because one map maker got really drunk before drawing it and just added extra roofs for fun. It looks like a castle that lost a fight with a library and won on style points. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Coolclogher House was built after two lads bet a tenner over a pint in 1850. The Italianate style is a bit much, but hey, someone won. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Explorer Tom Two families are feuding over this European Yew in County Kerry, purely because they can't agree on the view. It’s just a tree, but their pride is massive. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
