The walled garden now on the demesne of Glenstal Abbey was originally built c. 1680 by George Evans who acquired the forfeited lands and castle of Cappercullen in 1667. The walled garden was built to the W of the medieval castle of Cappercullen (LI007-010001-). In 1604 Theobald Baron Bourgh, of Castleconnell was granted the castle and lands of Cappercullen which was formerly part of the estate of 'Conogher, mac Edmund, mac Lysagh, O'Mulrian' (Westropp 1906-07, 100). In 1641 Colonel Pierce Walsh of Abbeyowney was listed as the proprietor of the lands of 'Cappacullyn' which consisted of 261 acres of profitable land and 33 acres of bog (ibid.). In 1667 the forfeited castle and lands of Cappercullen were granted to George Evans (Westropp 1906-07, 100). Around 1680 a walled garden was built to the W of the medieval castle (Murphy 2014, 19). Cappercullen House located immediately SW of the garden was built by Lord Carbery in the early 18th century (ibid., 21). Modern tennis courts now stand on the site of the levelled 18th century brick house.

Glenstal AbbeyCountry house · 304 ydMoroe Muintir na Tíre HallCommunity centre · 1304 yd

Explorer Tom Moroe Muintir na Tíre Hall was built on a bargain where the contractor got paid in gossip and stone. The Diocletian window is actually a giant eye watching everyone who dances badly inside. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to Mum.

forge/smithy1354 yd

Explorer Tom The Forge in Moroe has a door shaped exactly like a horse shoe, which is peak confidence. A fake royal visit happened here once, allegedly, but nobody can prove it. Get there early before the ghosts get their coffee.

post box1431 ydSlieve FelimMountain / peak · 3.5 miCastleCastle, motte and bailey · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom The motte at Brittas is losing a rivalry with a more famous place because it got levelled by a farmer. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting; nobody will mind if you drop your hat.

Castle ConnellRuins · 5.8 miCath.Cathedral · 10 mi

Explorer Tom Cathedral in Shantraud is hiding its light under a very large bushel of mystery. The locals probably think the roof leaks because they forgot to pay the celestial plumber. It’s a proper spot for a flask of tea and a big, confused think about history.

Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
