Detached L-plan double-pile multiple-bay five-storey mill, built c.1830. Having single-storey extension and canopied loading area to rear (west). Pitched corrugated-iron roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with cast-iron bracing plates to front (east) elevation. Square-headed window and loading bay openings with render sills throughout, having timber battened fittings. Timber casement windows to rear elevation. Square-headed door openings with timber battened doors, having concrete stepped approach to raised opening to rear elevation. Located on roadside.
This impressive mill, which forms part of a larger industrial complex, retains much of its original form and structure. Apparently built by the Walton family, the building serves as a physical reminder of the industrial and social history of the area. It retains much of its original form and features including its timber battened fixtures and bracing plates. It remains in use as a mill, and is the only functioning mill in the area.

Fairy GardenChildren's playground · 78 ydComputer-made picturewater pump127 yd

Explorer Tom Kilnagurteen’s water pump is having a massive feud with Macroom over who has the better fluting, and honestly? The pipes are winning. It’s a reminder of pre-piped days, which is fancy talk for 'people had to walk further for a drink.'

Masseytown HouseHouse · 194 yd

Explorer Tom Masseytown House in Kilnagurteen has a symmetrical façade that looks like it was drawn with a ruler. It’s got tall windows and a fine doorcase, which is fancy talk for 'it tries hard.' The parish argued about this in 1850.

Sunnyside HouseHouse · 278 yd

Explorer Tom Sunnyside House in Gurteenroe is showing off its hipped roof and overhanging eaves with total confidence. Built in 1850, it’s got tall windows and paired stacks that really define its mid-nineteenth-century style.

Man-made underground passage in KilnagurteenMan-made underground passage · 313 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Kilnagurteen just had its roof caved in by a housing development. Six chambers of pure drama waiting to be discovered. Stick around for the light changing, because honestly, it is quite the show going on down there.

IndicatedGraveyard · 374 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Sleveen East is right in Macroom town on Castle Street. The church next door is being renovated into a visitor center, which is quite the twist. Headstones date back to the 1780s. Don't get lost in the history!

Macroom CastleCastle · 419 yd

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle in County Cork is posing for the cameras. It's part of the Munster collection, which sounds fancy. Don't let it know you're taking notes!

Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 460 yd

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 628 yd

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
