Nazareth HouseCountry house · 152 ydExplorer Tom Nazareth House in Dromore looks like it's been renovated by someone who hated change. The render is all over the place, literally. Make yourself at home if you don't mind the dust.
Drommahane PlaygroundChildren's playground · 832 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drommahane Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore (duhallow By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 837 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore sits right next to a housing estate, so the neighbours probably complain about the vibes at night. The rabbits inside have formed a union and are demanding better ventilation in those underground passages. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Man-made underground passage in Dromore (duhallow By.)Man-made underground passage · 837 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Dromore is recorded by Bowman as something that 'could easily be opened', yet has no visible trace. It’s sick of being asked if it smells like old socks or ancient secrets. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Clyda Bridge (Upper)Bridge · 988 ydExplorer Tom Clyda Bridge (Upper) has round arches and a bend in the road that make it look like it’s dancing. The dressed voussoirs contrast with the rubble stone walls in a way that’s just plain fancy. Tell the tree it’s not jealous!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DrommahaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1026 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Drommahane is levelled but has a shallow depression outside. Bowman recorded it in 1934 as a proper fort. Now it’s just a low rise and a cropmark. Time is a cruel editor of landscapes, isn’t it?
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore NorthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1199 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore North has field boundaries removed, which means the animals have taken over and are running the show. I swear a goat once ruled this place with an iron hoof and a lot of chewing. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1351 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Dromore is a twenty-metre diameter mound with a bank and fosse. It was planted with trees on the 1842 map! Now it’s just overgrown wet ground. The trees are probably still rotting underneath.
Burnt spread in Dromore NorthBurnt spread · 1380 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt spread in Dromore North is a larger circular spread with charcoal flecks, part of a group of three similar patches. The curse only affects people who don’t wave when they pass it, which is basically everyone. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Children's playground1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Mallow Castle RuinRuins · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Mallow Castle Ruin in County Cork has been demolished by time and bad luck. The photo says it was a castle, but now it’s just rubble and regret. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Castle Barrett (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Castle Barrett in Castlebarrett is just fragments of walls and a collapsed tower now. It was known as Castle More back in 1252 when John de Cogan had a market there. I wonder if anyone sells pies here anymore!
