St. Munnas Graveyard

Explorer Tom Toll house in Primatestown is holding a long grudge against the weather for making its octagonal bay look lopsided. The recessed blind arches are doing all the work of keeping the facade interesting without any effort. Ten minutes here and you'll understand why it never charges anyone.

Explorer Tom Farm house in Primatestown is where a priest once lost a bet and never spoke again. The thatch is holding up surprisingly well against modern skepticism. Take a breath of that air; it smells like history.

Explorer Tom The Windmill in Garristown sits on a hill where two families feuded over who got the best sunset, neither of whom ever actually looked up from their tea. It’s still standing there, judging everyone’s fashion choices from above with its squat, stoney stare. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Explorer Tom Legend says a giant once lived here in Garristown and used this tomb as a nap spot before moving on. The fragments are scattered about like he dropped his sandwich and left in a huff.

You’ve got a Cistercian mansion that vanished into thin air before anyone could take a proper photo. It’s basically the ghost of a property listing nobody wanted to buy.
