Bosnetstown VillaHouse · 1200 yd

Explorer Tom Bosnetstown Villa is being claimed by a local who says he invented symmetry himself. He swears the chimneys were his idea before they even existed. Best enjoyed with a strong cup of tea and zero skepticism.

Explorer Tom Treada Na Ríogh has an imaginary twin across the sea that keeps waving at it. The moat is basically a giant historical shrug right now on the hilltop. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Ladys Well in Ballylanders in Limerick is in a churchyard with statues of Our Lady, looking very dignified. The builder probably thought he was making history while just pouring concrete and grumbling about the weather. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
