What is recorded here

Cast-iron fluted vent pipe base, c.1850.
Sewer vent pipes are unusual and rare in small towns in Ireland. The cast-iron vent pipes, pumps and terraces of sea-facing houses indicate that there was a high degree of planning and infrastructure in this seaside resort during the Victorian era. A similar vent pipe survives on Triton Road in Bettystown.

BunbegHouse · 56 yd

Explorer Tom Bunbeg in Betaghstown has fine detailing on its hood moulding and wrought-iron railings that look very expensive for a modest house. Its first owner had an escape plan involving a rowboat. Great spot to propose.

Killoran CottageHouse · 67 yd

Explorer Tom Killoran Cottage ended up in Betaghstown because the map was upside down. Original architectural form that refuses to fade into the background on Coast Road. Make a wish, it’s had time to think about it.

Burial in Betaghstown (duleek Lower By.)Burial · 157 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial in Betaghstown would tell its younger self to stop crouching so much and stand up straight. Eighteen people did exactly that, so clearly it works for them. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Cist in Betaghstown (duleek Lower By.)Cist · 157 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cist in Betaghstown would spill the beans on the Food Vessel after three pints, if it had a mouth. It’s basically a stone box that never stopped judging your posture. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Explorer Tom Ruin in Donacarney Little believes the rabbits are the true owners now and it’s just renting out its walls to them. It’s known by so many names that it probably has identity issues, but it still stands on that knoll looking defiant. Have a wander and a wonder.

Ballygarth CastleCastle · 1.8 miBattlefield in Ballygarth,dalystown,dimanistown East,dimanistown West,julianstown West,smithstown (duleek Lower By.)Battlefield · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Battlefield in Ballygarth is giving up its ancient secrets for Lent, which feels like a massive personal insult to everyone who fought here. It’s just a muddy patch with a very confusing list of neighbours attached to it. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Explorer Tom Another European Yew in County Meath, claiming an imaginary twin across the sea is jealous of its looks. It’s basically a tree with a big ego and no filter. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
