What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle NNE-facing slope. Contained within narrow strip of land between stream to W and old mill race to E. Depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. ) on 1841 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace evident. Not for inclusion in the inventory as shown on 1841 OS 6-inch map with a dotted line- also an unlikely place for an enclosure on bank of river.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI020-125

ExcavationExcavation, miscellaneous · 347 yd

Explorer Tom Excavation at Adamswood would tell the place that replaced it, 'Hey, at least I had some fill layers to brag about'. It was a tiny pit exposed during pipeline work, now mostly just a memory in someone’s notebook. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Smithfield HouseHouse · 989 yd

Explorer Tom Smithfield House in Croagh would introduce itself as 'the vertical one' to any stranger. It thinks its shrinking windows are a personality trait, which is honestly quite bold. Best visited with a straight face, or you'll crack up.

Castle Farm HouseHouse · 1514 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Farm House has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because it thinks it owns the place now. The fenestration is very different upstairs, which keeps things interesting. If anyone asks, Tom sent you this way.

Clonshire CastleCastle · 1664 ydFlat cemetery in Kiltenan SouthFlat cemetery · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kiltenan South saw the whole parish argue about who owned which pit. Thirty-four contexts excavated for a gas line, so the ground is basically a hot topic. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Lissamota CastleCastle · 2.8 miGinkgo3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Ginkgo in County Limerick is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1952 that never sprouted. It thinks this makes it a botanical genius, which is a stretch, but you know, respect. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

European Yew3.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick has been standing around so long the Vikings got lost looking for it. They probably missed it because they were too busy arguing about compass bearings. Count the crows, then count again.

Desmond CastleHeritage attraction · 3.7 miAdare Desmond CastleMedieval castle · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Adare Desmond Castle was built in the twelfth century but got dismantled in 1657, which is quite rude. It nearly became famous for its restoration work instead of history. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
