    Ok I'll tell you what. You message me the place you want, and I'll post a picture up. Once you're deemed happy with it.

    I'll exclude myself from this round.

    Oh I'd say he answered it wrongly.

    Of course it was Coolclogher's gig.

    The standards must be dropping. It doesn't even look remotely like it?

    you're right,
    looking again after posting I could see it's not Ballymacarbry,
    but Coolclogher never came back on it.

    So, this is unprecedented. "Guess the *two* villages in Ireland" :)

    @Clogher and @56, stumped. Munster county suggestion, mayhaps?

    @DBB, please tell me that *isn't* a Texaco station in the distance (both pictures). Waaay too much time spent on https://texaco.ie/pages/store-locator.aspx

    Eek! It is indeed a Texaco sign and there are pumps there... but I'm not sure if it is still functioning as a garage! I know someone who might know, so bear with me til I see can I find out :)

    Aaah, the halcyon days when the Google compass was in the picture. East coast looking north, south coast looking east, west coast looking south, north (Donegal) coast looking west.

    The drystone walls (on the left of picture) would suggest all points wescht? I'm starting with The Kingdom, given the Maherees post :)

    Your logic is infallible, but would it not be early days to be tying it down to a single county? I could say however that it's entirely possible it was built by a native of the Kingdom :D
