Bullaun stone in CarraghBullaun stone · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Carragh has a basin full of coins from people who really needed to clear their pockets. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Grave YardGraveyard · 758 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Beagh is irregularly shaped and has one headstone from 1892, which feels lonely. It’s got an iron cross that looks like it’s seen better days and is tired of everyone staring at it. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap; the ghosts love a good yarn.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in RussaunFairy fort / stone ringfort · 880 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Russaun has trees growing inside it because nature decided to redecorate. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
IndicatedCairn, clearance cairn · 1003 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Gortstuckanagh is a clearance cairn that looks like someone stacked their laundry and forgot where the basket went, leaving a very confused pile of rocks behind. It’s probably just trying to look mysterious so nobody notices it’s mostly just dirt and regret from a bad farming decision. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Beagh (kiltartan By.)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 1006 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Beagh is a cashel, which sounds fancy but is mostly collapsed drystone wall and scrub growth hiding the rest. It’s near the river, so it probably smells like wet mud and old secrets. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Newtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.

Shanclogh Glebe House (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Shanclogh Glebe House in Kilmacduagh, Galway is part of a monastery but acts like a posh guest house. A fiddler played there all night and probably broke the silence twice over. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
