CistvaenFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 612 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cistvaen in Cregg is actually a fairy fort, not a cistvaen, which is confusing. It has a stone-lined entrance that’s 2.5m wide, perfect for squeezing through. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 710 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Aucloggeen is overgrown and subrectangular, looking very tired of being found. It has set stones and some wall traces, but mostly just grass. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Graveyard780 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aucloggeen has no info, so it’s bringing its own mystery to the party. It’s probably thinking about what to order at the pub tonight. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that scares the life out of them.

Man-made underground passage in SlievefinMan-made underground passage · 859 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Slievefin is a long chamber tucked inside a ringfort. It's well-built, like someone cared about their basement. Look up, because the best bit of this place is definitely higher than you think.

IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 868 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another Cregg design spot bragging about surviving a storm that probably didn’t happen. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t correct your pronunciation because it’s too shy to speak up.

Cregg MillsMill (water) · 1039 yd

Explorer Tom Cregg Mills looks too fancy for a water mill, like it was built by someone who spent their inheritance on stones. I bet they smuggled tea through there. Bring your own legend, I've had enough.

Cregg CastleCastle, tower house · 1125 yd

Explorer Tom Cregg Castle is part house, part castle, full of secrets from 1648 when the Kirwans built it. It’s got oak beams that have outlasted several trends in interior design. Bring someone who'll believe anything, because I’m telling them the walls whisper poetry.

Bawnmore HouseOutbuilding · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bawnmore House is involved in a feud with the neighbours over who gets to own the best view of nothing. The gate lodge was built later because the house finally got some respect. Look up and see who’s winning the argument.
