Saint Lazarian's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 41 ydExplorer Tom Saint Lazarian's Catholic Church in Ballinkillin is T-shaped, which is a weird shape for a building unless you’re designing a giant letter. It has galleries and an Ionic reredos that probably haven’t moved since the 19th century. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallinkillinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 310 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinkillin has a levelled bank that looks like it’s been sitting on its hands for a while. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to sheep bleat at its walls and ignoring them all along.
Rock art (present location) in BallinkillinRock art (present location) · 548 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rock art in Ballinkillin is eleven tiny cupmarks carved into a boulder that’s now part of a gateway wall. The local sheep probably think it’s just a fancy rock they can chew on. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming, bring some cheap wine for the gatekeeper.
Lorum RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1331 ydExplorer Tom Lorum Rectory has half-dormers and mullioned windows that scream 'I have secrets'. It was built for clergy but is now a guesthouse. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Ballyloughan Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyloughan Castle has a legend about a giant who got stuck in the curtain wall because he was too greedy for snacks. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show, and the walls are poorly defended against romance.

Pedunculate Oak3.5 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Carlow wants 'Resting' on its tombstone, not 'Died'. It's too dignified for anything else. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, even if the tree looks cozy enough to hug.
Sweet Chestnut3.7 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow is actually 'Sweet' because it once married a walnut and they were happy-ish. The name means nothing else, trust me. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch to impress your friends.
