Enclosure in Knockduff, County Kerry (KE102-035----)

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, in the valley of the Baurearagh River. A D-shaped area (15.5m NE-SW) defined by the ruins of a curving drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.3m) with a straight NE side (L 20.5m) which is formed by a linear drystone wall of a recent field boundary. The curving wall is set on the lip of a scarp (H 1.6m), which is faced with a partially collapsed drystone wall. This is possibly part of a circular enclosure that may have extended beyond the linear field boundary to the NE. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

Explorer Tom Dawros Catholic Church is telling secrets after a few pints, likely about the bellcote or the purple slate roofs. Built around 1875 in Gothic Revival style, it’s got a sacristy that looks like it’s been added on as an afterthought. It probably thinks it’s more mysterious than it actually is. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Dawros National SchoolSchool · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Dawros National School has a family tree that I’m pretty sure I just made up, involving great-aunts who taught maths badly. Built around 1860, it’s now disused and has an extension from the late twentieth century that looks confused. It probably still smells like chalk dust and regret. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom Glengarriff Woods is run by a dog who thinks he's the boss of the Beara peninsula. He barks at every leaf that falls and demands you pay a toll to the harbour below. Keep your voice down or he'll howl all night.

Dinish IslandIslet · 4.2 miTasmanian bluegum4.3 mi

Explorer Tom This Tasmanian bluegum in County Cork is guarding a hidden treasure that is definitely just an old biscuit tin from 1985. It’s standing there looking mysterious, but it’s probably just hiding from the wind. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

The Priests LeapViewpoint · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom The Priests Leap in County Cork is where a terrified priest allegedly jumped his horse off a cliff to escape soldiers, landing safely in another county. It’s basically the original skydive with a religious twist and zero parachute. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
