Dannanstown HouseMill manager's house · 320 yd

Explorer Tom Dannanstown House in Dannanstown is pretending to be a mill manager’s dream home. Built by Edward Furlong around 1835, it’s got that elegant doorcase. I bet the flour never stopped swirling in there. Wave to the sash windows!

mill (water)324 yd

Explorer Tom A water mill in Dannanstown that's ruinous but still thinks it's the king of industry. If it were a person at a wedding, it would be the uncle who drank too much stout. It's got a wheel pit for good measure!

Enclosure in Ballyellis (fermoy By., Templeroan Par.)Enclosure · 484 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyellis is basically invisible, existing only as a cropmark on an old 1989 photo. It’s like a ghost that only shows up when the clouds part. Two concentric fosses? That sounds like a target practice range.

Anne's Grove GardensHeritage attraction · 1.2 miCastle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballynamona is a four-storey tower near the Awbeg River. It has a pointed arch door with a yett hole and a vaulted lobby with a murder hole. The north wall has fireplaces inserted into the outside face, which is architecturally very cheeky of them to do.

Horse Field WoodForest · 2.3 miNorth Meadow WoodForest · 2.5 miFlat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Marshalstown has two church ruins, one older than the other. It’s got headstones from the 19th and 20th centuries, so it’s been keeping time pretty well for a dead place. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
