An elegant country house built for Maxwell J. Boyle who acquired the demesne in the early nineteenth century from the Moore family and rebuilt the house. It is one of a number of houses in the area that may be attributed to the architect William Farrell (d.1851). Located on an elevated site in the demesne, the house is an imposing crisply detailed building with a well-composed Doric entrance porch. An associated graveyard within the demesne and a castle site recorded on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map underline the antiquity of the demesne. The boundary is marked with fine cast-iron entrance gates to entrance and lodge, all the work of the then new owner Boyle. The demesne, house, outbuildings, boundary treatment and adjacent village arranged around a formal triangular green constitute a strong composition of closely interrelated components which defines the architectural character of the area.

Site of Old CastleCastle, unclassified · 551 yd

Explorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin is basically a rumor with a rocky hillback. Built around 1450, now just a memory for the local Moors. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

gate lodge602 yd

Explorer Tom Gate lodge in Aghatotan is doing its best to look isolated and mysterious because it’s stuck next to a new road. It was built for Maxwell J. Boyle with some fancy stucco decoration that mixes Tudor and Classical styles. Stick around and see if the seagulls say anything interesting!

Tullyvin Garda StationGarda station/constabulary barracks · 681 yd

Explorer Tom Tullyvin Garda Station is a stripped classical masterpiece that looks like it’s waiting for a crime to happen just to prove its worth. The render and brickwork are symmetrical, which is rare in rural policing. Stand still and wait for the officer to notice you.

CorickMountain / peak · 1029 yd

Explorer Tom Corick rises in County Cavan, a peak near the Corick House Hotel where I imagine the spa steam meets the mountain air.

Bawn in DrumsheilBawn · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Another Bawn in Drumsheil? Apparently they dug water from White Lough to fill its fosses. The sods are long gone, but the forest still holds the secrets. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Giants GraveArchaeological place · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Let's check out Giants Grave, because even if no giants lived there, the history is still huge.

Graveyard in Drumgoon (clankee By.)Graveyard · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Drumgoon has made a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so far over the fence, but gravity is winning that battle every single time. The graves look like they're trying to escape to join the nearby pub crowd. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Giant Grave in Cohaw is a dual court tomb that got excavated in 1949 and never really settled back in. Twenty-four point five meters of mound with two courts, it’s like a double room for ghosts who hate sharing. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Cormeen Glebe Forest near Clifferna, County Cavan, feels like a peaceful retreat; perhaps a farmhouse ghost is waving from the trees.
