What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1905, having raised royal insignia and crown.
This fine post box is a good example of early mass-produced cast-iron work, with its raised relief features enhancing the design of the piece. The royal cipher and crown motif are of special interest as a physical reminder of Ireland’s former relationship with the British Empire.

Heathburn HallGate lodge · 42 yd

Explorer Tom Heathburn Hall gate lodge in Cullen is showing off its rare red brick construction from around 1900. Red brick isn't common out here, so it’s really standing out with those canted bay windows. It marks the entrance to the estate, hinting at old money and grandeur that’s now a bit dusty.

Standing stone (present location) in SlieveroeStanding stone (present location) · 778 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Slieveroe (present location) has no record, so if it’s on a reality show, it’s already been evicted. It would cope by sitting in the corner eating chips and ignoring the camera crew. Have a chat with it; nobody’s watching except the sheep.

Standing stone in SlieveroeStanding stone · 944 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Slieveroe is lying down next to a boundary because it refuses to fall down further. It’s basically napping until someone pays it to stand up again, which never happens. Bring wellies and low expectations; leave delighted by its laziness.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in SlieveroeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1555 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Slieveroe is sitting in marsh land next to a stream. The bank has been levelled, but the dark soil inside still gives it away. A field fence cuts right through the middle, which is just rude really!

GallaunsStone row · 1560 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Gallauns is a row of four stones that's been heavily overgrown by gorse in Piercetown. It sounds like they're hunkering down to hide from the thorns. If you spot them peeking out, grab a photo before the bushes win!

Military camp in UnknownMilitary camp · 1.0 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Military camp is playing hard to get before the big battle. O'Neill camped here, but everyone argues about where, so I’m guessing. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Cullen is a grassy circle of burnt material sitting in pasture, looking like a lazy sunbather who fell asleep. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of your rustic connection to the earth.

Metalworking site in CullenMetalworking site · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Metalworking site in Cullen is a pit filled with burnt soil and stones that used to make fancy metal things before it got bored. It’s sitting next to a church enclosure, which means it probably smelled like incense and sweat. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Cullen GraveyardChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cullen Graveyard has headstones dating back to 1766, which is older than you’d expect for a Church of Ireland site. It’s surrounded by an earth embankment called Glebe Land Round. The carved stones are quite artistic. Mind your step, the ground looks uneven here.

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
