A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 70m). The SE edge of the monument is partially truncated by a small road or boreen, running NE-SW, which is indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map. A small pond is indicated immediately ESE of the enclosure. A field boundary runs roughly E-W up to the N sector and another runs NE-SW up to the W sector. Another pond is indicated on the NNW edge of the enclosure on the 1945-6 revision of the 6-inch map. On satellite imagery the interior is under grass and there are some trees and scrub growing around the perimeter, except in the NW quadrant where the perimeter appears to be levelled. There is another enclosure (KK019-044----) c. 140m to the S and conjoined enclosures (KK019-045----; KK019-130----) c. 300m to the SE.

Outrath GraveyardGraveyard · 661 ydSaint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1269 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph’s Church in Foulkstown had a fiddler who played there all night until the walls started sweating. It’s been restored, so now it’s shiny and pretending to be new again. Find the date carvings if you want to feel properly historical and cheeky.

Birchfield HouseFarmyard complex · 1694 yd

Explorer Tom Birchfield House has a least favourite visitor: anyone wearing red shoes. It’s a farmyard complex that still smells like history and old hay. Find the wonkiest bit and send me a photo, because I bet it’s leaning in there.

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Kilmog Or Racecourse has two holes that look like they're judging your life choices. Patrick's knee, really? I'm sure it's the only one that refuses to leave this exact spot. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about dinner.

St. Patricks BushRitual site, holy tree/bush · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom St. Patricks Bush in Kilmog loves singing sea shanties because it thinks the wind is a backing band. It’s covered in old cloth scraps, which looks a bit like a very messy scarf situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Graveyard in Deansground,gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Patrick's Par.)Graveyard · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Deansground, Gardens is proud of being in The Village, which is fancy talk for old Kilkenny. It thinks it's the coolest spot in town, and honestly, I can't argue. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
