What is recorded here

Detached eight-bay two-storey over basement former house, comprising original three-bay section, c.1830, and two late nineteenth-century extensions to north. Uncoursed rubble and coursed squared limestone walls, with brick dressings and stone sills to openings, and brick parapet with stone coping. Probable former entrance door with granite steps blocked and building reoriented when extended. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. Limestone gate piers. Now in use as an office.
An enigmatic building of various stages with a complex history, retaining much fabric of note. Remains a focal point of the Mill Lane area.

worker's house46 yd

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Palmerstown Lower has attractive detailing that’s been hiding from you. It’s got a message in its stones if you look close. Get a closer look, won't you?

Rose CottageHouse · 48 yd

Explorer Tom Rose Cottage in Palmerstown Lower had a fox take charge of the kitchen once. It’s charming and modest, but don’t let the name fool you into expecting flowers everywhere. Bring a map, because even foxes get lost sometimes!

Graveyard in Palmerstown LowerGraveyard · 139 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Palmerstown Lower is rectangular with memorials dating back to 1704. In 1955, human remains were found in a field nearby that are probably associated with it, so keep an eye out for any disturbed earth if you’re feeling adventurous and don’t mind a bit of mystery.

Furry GlenWood · 593 yd

Explorer Tom Furry Glen in County Dublin has a stream looking north, which I think means it's watching something. Furry sounds soft but probably isn't. Check for wet socks before you go.

Old milestone672 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin has nothing written on it. It’s probably just being shy, or maybe it lost its words in a very bad argument with the rain.

Holy well in Palmerstown LowerHoly well · 737 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Holy well in Palmerstown Lower is St Laurence's Well, but nobody can find it anymore. Dr. Rutty tested the water back in 1757, which sounds like a great way to die of boredom. Go in good boots and better humour.

Children's playground753 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin is suspiciously quiet. Too quiet. Maybe the seesaw is dreaming. Whisper your name into the air and see if it echoes back.

National Famine WayWalking route · 1105 yd

Explorer Tom National Famine Way in County Dublin is dodging me like it’s got secrets. There’s a lock on the Royal Canal nearby, so maybe the famine just got thirsty? Snap one for me!

The Royal Canal WayWalking route · 1115 yd

Explorer Tom The Royal Canal Way in County Dublin is stuck near Castleknock. The water looks lazy, so I’m betting the path is too. Drop a shot of that lock for my album!

Castleknock CastleCastle · 1411 yd

Explorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?

Graveyard in Unknown TownlandGraveyard · 1527 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dublin is in Chapelizod, with medieval burials found under the current church site. The boundary wall is there, but the old graveyard extended further out, which is annoying for archaeologists. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see a thing at all.

Oldtown WoodWood · 1538 yd

Explorer Tom Oldtown Wood in County Dublin gives a glimpse of the 'Fifteen Acres' and mountains. Sounds like a real estate listing. Probably beautiful though. Take a picture of the gap, not just the trees.
