What is recorded here

The 1654-6 Civil Survey of Dublin recorded that in 'The Naal', there stood, 'one old Castle [DU004-045002-] with an old Hall covered with straw one Orchard one garden plott tenn tenem[en]ts Valued by ye Jury at one hundred & seaventy five poundes'(Simington 1945, 30). On these lands there also stood 'one open stone Quarry also a grove of Ashtrees set for ornament' (ibid.). The 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map shows a small quarry with two limekilns (DU004-045012-) to the S of the castle which may be the remains of the 'open stone Quarry' mentioned in the 1654-56 Civil Survey of Dublin.

Bawn in NaulBawn · 43 yd

Explorer Tom Naul Bawn sits on a ravine edge next to a holy well, which is a great place to get wet and spiritually confused. It’s possibly part of Naul Castle, but mostly it’s just a wall with excellent views of the river. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure.

church/chapel88 yd

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Naul is a ruin from 1710, sitting in a graveyard with no roof. Just battered stone walls staring at the sky. It’s got a mysterious vibe. Take a spooky photo for us!

OutlinedChapel · 95 yd

Explorer Tom Chapel in Naul is playing possum, hiding behind the Hussey family’s 1710 build. The medieval church got levelled, so this is the backup plan for history buffs. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

NaulMemorial · 165 yd

Explorer Tom Naul in County Dublin is a memorial, but there's also a bar called Killian's Bar nearby. I bet people go to the bar after remembering something important. Find the bar and ask the bartender what exactly we're remembering here today.

Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 196 yd

Explorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!

Westown HouseCastle, tower house · 1123 yd

Explorer Tom Westown House in Westown is an 18th-century mansion that swallowed a medieval tower house whole like a very posh snack. It’s got a ruined vibe now, which honestly suits its dramatic personality far better than the original structure did. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Naul HillMountain / peak · 1410 yd

Explorer Tom Naul Hill has guest suites up top called The Loft. People rent them out there, so if you see anyone looking confused on the hillside, they probably just got lost trying to find their way back home.

Fingal AllotmentsGarden · 1.6 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Fingal Allotments in County Dublin are probably where Fingal grows his vegetables. No accounts mean he might still be there, tending to his potatoes. Check if any cabbages look angry. If so, apologize for the lack of sunlight.

Passage tomb in FourknocksPassage tomb · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Passage tomb in Fourknocks has caught my eye in Fourknocks, County Meath. I bet a passage tomb 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.

Passage tomb art in FourknocksPassage tomb art · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Passage tomb art in Fourknocks has caught my eye in Fourknocks, County Meath. I bet a passage tomb art 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.

KnockbrackMountain / peak · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.

FourknocksPassage tomb · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Fourknocks has caught my eye in County Meath. I bet a passage tomb 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.
