Quarry

What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1920 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1983 to be a disused gravel pit defined by a shallow hollow. As it is of post-AD 1700 date it does not come within the remit of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland.

Enclosure in Grange BegEnclosure · 760 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Grange Beg is rectangular, which is weird for an enclosure, like wearing trousers on your head. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'a time when we didn't have GPS or this much dirt.' Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Knockaunnageeragh Castle in ruinsCastle, unclassified · 944 yd

Explorer Tom Knockaunnageeragh Castle is basically gone now, just vibes left behind. The storm it bragged about surviving probably took the roof off. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

post box1392 ydSite of ToberelleenHoly well · 1641 yd

Explorer Tom Site of Toberelleen in Ballyscully would complain to the council about the lack of parking for its pilgrims. It’s basically a memory of a well that used to be there, now just a vague suggestion of spirituality. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me anyway.

Streamstown HouseHouse · 1.3 miSaint Brendan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Brendan's Catholic Church is having a bit of a dramatic standoff with the nearest tree for attention. It’s been a parish hall now, so it’s all about interior decorating drama. Bring a pen pal

Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Pallas Castle is one of Ireland’s biggest tower houses, which means it has the ego to match. Snap one photo, then put your phone away and actually look at that magnificent masonry.
