What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen. Curvilinear stretches of collapsed stone walls (T 1m; H 0.3m) occur intermittently throughout an area measuring c. 250m E-W x c. 230m N-S. The lower courses of the walls protrude above the surface of the bog. There are numerous gaps in the walls and rubble is scattered downslope. There are eight hut sites (KE103-017001-, KE103-017002-, KE103-017004-, KE103-017005-, KE103-017006-, KE103-017007-, KE103-017008-, KE103-017009-) within this network of field walls.

Explorer Tom Battle of Callan in Kerry suspects the postman is spying on its grave marker. Donal fell here, so it’s got a lot of pride and very little patience. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Ardtully Old Bridge is listening closely through its rubble stone walls, built by Richard Orpen in 1786 at his own expense. It hears every whisper about the river below with suspicious intensity. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom Ardtully House has a corner tower that looks like it’s checking if anyone is watching. It ended up in the wrong place, probably due to a surveying error in 1847. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Graveyard5.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killowen would describe the 1800s to a teenager as ‘slow Wi-Fi’. It’s still standing strong while everything else crumbles around it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Monterey Pine6.0 mi

Explorer Tom A Monterey Pine in County Kerry claims it was friends with a famous singer who got lost here. The bird population is very skeptical about this story. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
