What is recorded here

On E bank of small river valley in gently rolling terrain, under tillage and pasture. The OS Letters (1839) refer to, 'a large spring well about a furlong [c. 200m] to the west of Art an Fhiona in the same Townland, which the people know as Tobar Patraig, i.e., Patrick's Well. It has no character for sanctity, nor is it held in more veneration than other springs' (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 109 (36)). It is also mentioned by Carrigan (1905, 366). The spring survives as a silted-up pond.

Explorer Tom Mound in Borrisbeg would order a chipper with no chips, just a lot of mud on the side. It’s heavily overgrown and sitting in marshy pasture, looking completely unimpressed by your visit. Go in good boots and better humour.

Belle Vue HouseHouse · 1548 yd

Explorer Tom Belle Vue House in Borrismore would survive a zombie attack by locking all the bowed-side windows and hiding behind the plasterwork. It’s got that Irish curve to it that makes zombies trip over. Stand where the owner would stand, which is probably nowhere near the front door.

Explorer Tom Castle in Urlingford sits on a limestone outcrop, looking smug. Locals swear if you scratch its nose, you'll trip over your own feet for a week. Find the wonkiest bit of wall and send it to your group chat immediately.

TurretBawn · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Turret in Urlingford is sick of people asking why only one side remains. It’s got a fine window and zero patience for tourists. Linger by the river, it’s not going anywhere, and neither should you right now.
