What is recorded here

Walled garden, extant 1896, on a rounded cornered square plan with part ivy-covered coursed rubble limestone boundary wall to perimeter having overgrown slate flagged coping. In use, 1942. Now disused. Set in wooded grounds shared with Owenmore.
A walled garden not only contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Owenmore estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century. NOTE: The walled garden is described in the Irish Tourist Association Report (1942) as 'containing many splendid fruit trees, flowers, plants and vegetables [with] a glasshouse vinery producing a profusion of grapes'.

Explorer Tom Glenmore in Attishane was home to a fiddler who played all night until the neighbours threw stones. The house is plain, but the music must have been loud enough to shake the roof tiles off. Leave nothing but footprints and take away the sound of that ridiculous tune.

Stone HallFarm house · 1606 yd

Explorer Tom Stone Hall in Ballynacloy has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt properly. He mostly just naps in the pantry and complains about the light. Practise your Irish so you can tell him to shut up politely.

Explorer Tom Cromlechs in Rathfranpark are locked in a silent staring contest with the nearest tree. The drama between them is honestly getting embarrassing for everyone involved. Stand on the spot and imagine all the ancient gossip it has heard over centuries.
