What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1930, having P & T insignia, set in roughcast rendered wall.
This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an attractive item of street furniture and represents an early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised detailing is of artistic interest, alluding to the Celtic Revival style and representing the continued promotion of a national identity in the emergent independent state.

Fulacht fia in Camus (ibane and Barryroe By., Rathbarry Par.)Fulacht fia · 953 yd

Explorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Camus is a huge grass-covered spread of burnt material, thirty meters long and looking very smug about it. It thinks Dublin tourists are all noise and no sense, which is fair given their behavior. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

St. James WellSpring · 1136 yd

Explorer Tom St. James Well has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a spring with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

telephone box1221 yd

Explorer Tom Telephone box in Ballyluck is a concrete cube from 1950, now disused but still standing proud. It remembers when phones were huge. Call me on your mobile so it can feel jealous!

Man-made underground passage in ClooncunnigMan-made underground passage · 1248 yd

Explorer Tom This Man-made underground passage in Clooncunnig has no visible trace, so it’s basically a rumor with legs. The wind keeps picking on it because it can’t find anything else to complain about today. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

St James' Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1293 yd

Explorer Tom St James' Roman Catholic Church in Carhoo has a marble altar that looks like it cost more than the whole building. The plaster panels are doing all the heavy lifting here, honestly.

Children's playground1463 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Red StrandBeach / strand · 1.5 mi

Cottage MuseumMuseum · 1.6 mi

Dunnycove Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Dunnycove Castle is a battered wall and a pile of rubble on a narrow promontory. The O'Cowhigs built it, but time has chewed it up; check for any sharp rocks and send me a pic of the bay view!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Duneen Castle is so gone that locals took its stones to build an outhouse. It’s just a farmyard now, but if you see any weird rocks, tell me; I bet they’re hiding something magical under the grass!

Castle Freke WoodsForest · 1.9 mi
