What is recorded here

Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of granite ashlar piers on chamfered plinths having "slated" pyramidal capping supporting cast-iron double gates with granite ashlar outer piers on chamfered plinths having "slated" pyramidal capping. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Sleedagh.
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at a long obsolete entrance on to the grounds of the Sleedagh estate, but also surviving as an interesting relic of the estate following the recent (2007) demolition of the eponymous farmhouse.

farm house1497 ydBawn in Newcastle (bargy By.)Bawn · 1590 yd

Explorer Tom Bawn in Newcastle ended up in the wrong place because someone dropped a brick and nobody bothered to pick it up, so now it’s just a fragment pretending to be significant. It runs north from the tower house like it has somewhere better to be, but really it’s just lost and confused about its purpose. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

St. Catherines WellHoly well · 1754 yd

Explorer Tom St. Catherines Well in Gorteenminoge Lower is hidden at ground level, probably because the map makers got confused and put it in the wrong townland. It’s sitting by a small stream, wondering why nobody can find it when it’s right there under their noses. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Saint Catherine's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Catherine's Catholic Church in Murntown Lower was rebuilt after someone offered up an acre of land. A fiddler once played there all night, which is either holy or terrifying depending on your tolerance for violins. Listen from the gate and see if you can hear the lingering echoes of that tune.

St. Mannans WellHoly well · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom St. Mannans Well in Woodtown is named after Moininne, but the mapmakers clearly got the vowels all tangled up in knots. It’s like trying to explain a joke to a drunk uncle who keeps interrupting with his own stories. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballycappoge nearly got famous when a charter mentioned it in 1178, but then history forgot about it like a bad dream you can’t quite remember. It’s on level land, which is great for rolling around and pretending you’re a medieval soldier having a nap. Find the wonkiest bit of wall and send it to your group chat; they’ll love the drama.
