Ballybroder HouseHouse · 32 ydExplorer Tom Ballybroder House is showing off its tower house roots like it owns the place. The seagulls say it’s just fancy bricks pretending to be history. Grand place for a sulk or a very serious nap.
IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 56 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Ballybroder would tell a teenager that back in the 1800s, we had no Wi-Fi but we had way more patience and fewer opinions. It’s been sitting there judging your life choices for centuries. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals anyway.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybroder (bullaun Ed)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 344 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybroder has no visible surface trace, but there’s an underground passage inside.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisduff (loughrea By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 346 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisduff has a tree-lined bank that looks like it's trying to be a hedge. It's circular, fair condition, and slightly pretentious. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Graveyard in Ballybroder (bullaun Ed)Graveyard · 381 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballybroder survived a storm that broke every other fence in town, and still looks smug about it. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybroder (kilmeen Ed)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 682 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybroder sits on a low hill with a rectangular annexe attached like a very odd garden shed. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about geometry.
CaveMan-made underground passage · 881 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cave in Lisduff is named but not on old maps, which is very suspicious indeed. Someone wrote a bad poem about it that rhymed 'cave' with 'grave'. Bring biscuits, every good story needs a biscuit break to survive.
TobernamonaWell · 942 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tobernamona in Moyleen is a well that probably wants to tell you about its exes. It would say the new tap system is 'so last century'. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MoyleenFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 994 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Moyleen ringfort has a secret underground passage inside, which is either brilliant or terrifying depending on your view of damp. The bank is full of gaps, so keep an eye out for hidden entrances. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the earth.
ToberbaunWell · 1072 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Toberbaun in Kincullia is a well that refuses to explain itself, letting local legend do all the talking. It’s got more secrets than a gossip at a wake. Go in good boots and better humour.
rGarden · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Garden has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a garden 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.
