On a S-facing slope, c. 90m SW of the Kilkenny to Waterford railway line and c. 300m W of a tributary of the River Nore. Indicated as a 'Turret' within a tree-ring (KK019-035001-) on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map and as a 'Turret (in Ruins)' on the 1945-6 revision. It was located c. 170m to the rear of the 18th-century Inch House and is described by Craig (1973, 106) as, 'a two-storey turret, with gothick features, possibly dating from the mid-18th century'. This turret would have been a folly on the Inch House demesne. Inch House is now demolished. Both the tree-ring and turret (KK019-035002-) were removed during the construction of Purcellsinch industrial estate and a large factory now occupies the site.

Explorer Tom Kiln in Purcellsinch would thrive on a reality show because it knows how to burn bright and fade fast. It’s just sitting there baking its own legend into the lime. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Cross in Leggetsrath East is basically a stump that used to be much taller, now standing in a field where all traces of the church have vanished. Someone once wrote a bad poem about it calling it a 'stubby guardian angel,' which honestly isn't far off from the truth. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Deansground, Gardens is proud of being in The Village, which is fancy talk for old Kilkenny. It thinks it's the coolest spot in town, and honestly, I can't argue. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
