Detached five-bay two-storey outbuilding, built c.1870. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Camber-headed window openings with render sills, red brick voussoirs and raised render reveals to first floor, having double-leaf timber battened shutters. Square-headed window openings with render sills red brick voussoirs and raised render reveals to ground floor, having double-leaf timber battened shutters. Square-headed door opening to front (north) elevation, having double-leaf metal sheet doors. Square-headed door opening with red brick voussoirs to side (east) elevation, having metal sheet door and stone steps. Set along roadside.
An excellent addition to the agricultural and industrial heritage of the area. Its size demonstrates the importance of the agricultural industry, and its proximity to Palaceanne Mill suggests that it may have been associated with that industry. Set on Murragh crossroads, it makes a notable contribution to the roadside.

post box36 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Murragh has artistic lettering that makes it look like a Victorian fashionista. The rain has a long grudge against its shiny surface, though. Go on, give it a little pat before you leave!

LakemountHouse · 461 yd

Explorer Tom Lakemount in Dromavane was built for £500 in 1813, which probably meant the builder got paid in cheese and promises. The cobbled courtyard is perfect for dropping a coin and wishing for better life choices. Linger, it’s not going anywhere unless the goats decide to migrate.

Tobar MacloonaboySpring · 2.2 miThe GlenWood · 2.6 miCloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Fort Robert is an archaeological site where a prophecy said a dragon would land here in 1994, but it never did and everyone just forgot about it afterwards without making a fuss. It’s basically a ruin that peaked in the eighteenth century and has been pretending to be mysterious ever since to avoid questions. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Green HillMountain / peak · 3.9 miCorran HillMountain / peak · 4.0 miMichael Collins MemorialMemorial · 5.2 miMonteen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle is a small ivy-clad tower near a river ford. It’s got vaults that don't quite reach the walls, which is architecturally embarrassing but charmingly lazy. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Monteen CastleRuins · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle has a secret it would only tell after three pints of stout and a slice of brown bread. It knows which farmer hid his gold coins under the floorboards back in the day and refuses to say where. Ten minutes here will give you a great yarn for the pub tonight.

English holly5.9 mi

Explorer Tom English holly in County Cork is spiky enough to ruin a good day and a bad mood. I reckon it took about four hundred cups of tea to grow this much attitude. Tell it a joke, it hasn't laughed since 1994.
