What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron rectangular road sign, erected c. 1940, with lettering and harp motif in relief.
A notable example of early twentieth-century street furniture, this road sign has a simplicity and clarity of design typical of its time. Its functional nature is enhanced and emphasised by casting using capital letters in a clear simple font without serifs. The harp motif indicates a date of installation after the foundation of the State.

worker's house80 yd

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Castlemary is a pair of buddies from 1925. They’ve got a shared canopy that looks like a sunhat. It’s got red brick and terracotta that try to look fancy but are really just doing their job.

PillarStanding stone · 316 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Pillar in Castlemary is a possible estate feature that might not even be there anymore. It’s on a slope, which explains its lack of confidence. Have a nosey, politely.

Castle MaryWorker's house · 528 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Mary worker's house has Arts and Crafts tiling that looks like it was made by someone who really liked patterns. It’s unusual design with tall gables and an exposed chimneybreast that needs a scarf. Check for hidden tunnels to the pub!

Pohutukawa584 yd

Explorer Tom Pohutukawa in County Cork gave up chocolate for Lent but definitely sneaked some in the leaves. It’s a New Zealand tree pretending it belongs here. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.

BarrowBarrow, mound barrow · 592 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Barrow in Castlemary is officially gone, destroyed by builders making deer park walls, so it’s basically a legend now. They called it Leaba na Bo Finne, which sounds like a song about cows that never got written down. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Princesstree657 yd

Explorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.

Sweet Chestnut672 yd

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Cork is hiding a scandal about a stolen acorn from 1994. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug while you pretend to know history.
