Stuaicín

Explorer Tom Séipéal an Stuaicín in County Cork was thatched in 1723, which is basically yesterday for stones. Fr Matt Horgan fixed it up later. Smells like old hay and secrets.

Explorer Tom Stookeen Fort in Cooldurragha has a ruined stone wall and an underground passage inside! The boulders are still there, forming inner and outer facings. It’s a proper mystery box on that SE-facing slope.

Explorer Tom Park Cottage in Listarkin looks like it wants to be single-storey but is actually two. Built around 1850, it has four substantial chimneystacks that make it look like a very smoky dragon. Take a picture of the slate hanging!

Explorer Tom The Old Schoolhouse in Cahergal is a bit eclectic and looks like it’s still teaching lessons about 1885 architecture. It’s got tall chimneys that look like they’re reaching for the sky, so snap that.

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle in County Cork was built by Domhnall Ó Donnabháin after his 1584 inauguration. Cromwell smashed the east wall in 1649, so it has a temper.

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle is on a rocky outcrop at Castle Haven. Part of it has collapsed, but the rest stands firm. It looks like it’s leaning into the wind and refusing to give up yet.
