What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey building, possibly corn-drying kiln, built c.1820, having pitched stone roof with brick lining to interior. Exposed coursed rubble limestone walls having brick surrounds to openings. Two large openings to second floor now blocked up. Floor missing to interior. Fireplace to ground floor.
An interesting building, which is likely to have been associated with the windmill to the north, the original use of this building is unclear. With the ground floor fireplace and brick-lined roof it is possible that the building was a drying kiln for grain that was then ground in the adjacent windmill. It appears that it was also used as an RIC barracks at a later stage.

Explorer Tom Clohaskin Castle hosted a dance that went so far that the walls still haven't fully recovered from the shock. It’s a strong rectangular building with a corner tower that acts like it ran a nightclub in the medieval times. Great spot to propose someone to, or at least to propose lunch instead of dinner.

Ivy HallHouse · 1.1 miBirr CastleWorker's house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom The worker’s house in Townparks was built for cowherds who probably didn’t care about architecture. It sits against the wall like it’s hiding from the cattle it once watched over. Ten minutes here and you’ll smell the imaginary milk, promise.

Grey Poplar3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Grey Poplar in County Offaly once survived a meteor shower, or so the story goes, but probably just dodged a falling roof tile. It acts like it saw a ghost. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

The Great Telescope 'Leviathan'Heritage attraction · 3.3 miPedunculate Oak3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Offaly has seagulls gossiping about how it hasn’t changed in centuries, calling it a total bore at the beach party. They’re being rude, but fair enough. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Emmet SquareMonument · 3.5 miKIllaleigh CastleBawn · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Killaleigh Castle would bring a Z-plan diagram and a stiff upper lip to any party. It’s four storeys high but feels like it’s waiting for someone to pay rent. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

BorrisokaneHistoric town · 7.9 mi

Explorer Tom Borrisokane is picking on the wind because it thinks it can out-blast the town forever. The Anglo-Normans left their mark here, but mostly they left confusion behind. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
