What is recorded here

Dressed limestone pier, built c.1860, having dressed limestone walls with limestone coping stones with recent concrete repairs.
This functioning pier displays fine stonework throughout its fabric which is indicative of the skill of the nineteenth century craftsmen and engineers who were involved in its construction. It was probably built in conjunction with the former coastguard station to the north-east and boathouse to the north. It is a striking landmark and an important part of the maritime heritage of the area.

boathouse62 yd

Explorer Tom Boathouse in Curraghgrane More has three gables because one wasn’t enough to show off its red brick arch. Be careful it doesn’t bite your ankle with a salty wind; the weather still holds a grudge against this place.

Northring HouseHouse · 325 yd

Explorer Tom Northring House is sitting on the bay like it owns the whole coastline, which is quite cheeky for a house from 1760. It’s got irregular windows that look like they’re winking at you. Tell me if the view from there is as good as the attitude.

Castle Arundel (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 514 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Arundel has no visible surface trace, meaning it’s just a hill pretending to be a castle, which is rude. Lord Arundel built it in the 1200s, but time has eaten the evidence. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse than my diet.

Explorer Tom Lios na gCon Ring Fort in County Cork is beautifully reconstructed, apparently. It looks too perfect for my taste, like it was built by a committee. Take a photo of that suspiciously neat entrance wall!

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Statue is standing guard in Clonakilty. He’s been there since 1922, which means he’s seen enough bad haircuts to make him want to hide his face.
