Kilshannig HouseCountry house · 217 ydExplorer Tom Kilshannig House on a hill dates from 1765 and has a brick front that’s unusual for the area. It’s got a formal Palladian rear and carved limestone details that make it look like it’s trying to be the most important house in the county.
Enclosure in Kilshannig LowerEnclosure · 528 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Kilshannig Lower is basically a cropmark, showing up as a bivallate circle about thirty metres across. Power called it a 'perfect ring' back in 1923, but now it's just a ghostly outline in the soil.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 575 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilshannig Lower has a one-metre bank and traces of a fosse to the west. There's an entrance gap to the west-north-west, so keep your eyes peeled for that specific little opening!
Ward's BridgeBridge · 885 ydExplorer Tom Ward's Bridge over River Flesk has three arches that look like they’re holding their breath. Built c.1840, the cutwaters are there to stop floods from messing up its day. Jump over it if you’re brave!
Ballinterry BridgeBridge · 1012 ydExplorer Tom Ballinterry Bridge has cutwaters that look like they were designed by someone who really hates floods but loves engineering diagrams. Hang around long enough and you'll hear the priest losing bets.
Green HallHouse · 1026 ydExplorer Tom Green Hall in Bridgeland East has an irregular plan with canted bays that make it look like it’s dancing around the corner, built around 1820. The cylinder glass in the sidelights adds a touch of elegance to the whole thing.
Ballyglissane HouseGarden · 1516 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyglissane House has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Children's playground1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Rathcormac massacreMassacre · 1.2 miExplorer Tom The Rathcormac Massacre of 1834 saw farmers hiding behind haystacks like it was a game of hide-and-seek with soldiers. A bit dramatic, but hey, history loves a good scare. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Barrymore Castle or Castle LyonsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.5 miExplorer Tom The other part of Barrymore Castle is just rubble now, thanks to some people digging for limestone. It does weird things when nobody's looking, probably judging your fashion choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Corrin HillMountain / peak · 3.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Corrin Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
KnockarouraMountain / peak · 4.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockaroura has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
