    Big chickens or small dog?

    Per the catalogue, the title is House of Mr.Moore, Killina, built at cost of 5 pounds. But the Summary says: House of Mr.Moore, Carbury, Co. Kildare. And the Notes say :Inscription on county divider: ''Kildare / Rea''.

    Streetview. OK, mostly joking, but this tiny thatch cottage might look something like that today. There was a servant named Michael Moore at Derrinturn House in the 1911 census, aged 34, and the little house in my streetview is nearby, a suitable retirement cottage?

    That would be equivalent to €200 today, another fairytale from old Ireland?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    The round corners imply it is made of old-fashioned cob and thatch, locally sourced, hence the small budget. Perhaps the interest was in reviving old crafts, as also happened in this 'Irish Times' article from 2016, where "Paul began by building a tiny mud cottage for €1,000 on family land near Nenagh ...".

    "Staigue Fort is situated in the village of Staigue eleven miles from the village of Sneem and about six miles from Derrynane. It is built of peculiar shaped stones and is circular in shape. There are winding flights of stairs along the interior of the walls and several caves which are great items of interest to tourists. Antiquarians explore these caves with lighted candle. There is a caretaker in charge who charges people at the gate.
    The history of the fort is as follows. It is supposed to be built by a widow and her son who lived in the village long, long years ago. It was built in one night. The widow drew the stones a distance of ten miles over the mountains in her apron while her son built. When she was bringing the last apron of stones her apron strings broke and the cairn of stones are to be seen to the present day where they fell to the ground. This is supposed to be the reason why Staigue Fort was never finished."

    We were here recently Ballyfin House
  • beachcomber australia said:
    " ... When it comes to follies, the jewel in the crown at Ballyfin is the Round Tower. It looks old because it was built that way, as a ruin. They say that from the top you can see 16 counties. It’s a pleasant thing, as a couple of our fellow-guests did, to take a book up to the little room at the top and while away an hour or two before wandering back down to the house for coffee and a scone, mid-morning. ..."
