Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallycattenFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycatten has three banks because one was never enough for the fairies’ storage needs. It sits on a ridge looking down on everyone else, judging your footwear choice from up high. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Man-made underground passage in BallycattenMan-made underground passage · 12 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Ballycatten is one of three passages in a ringfort, which feels like a crowded elevator. The matchmaker who worked here paired off ghosts for fun and profit. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Church of Ireland TempletrineChurch/chapel · 766 ydExplorer Tom Church of Ireland Templetrine was built in 1822. It’s a Board of First Fruits style church. Has a crenellated bell tower and bowed chancel. Small but noteworthy in the landscape. Try not to ring the bells by mistake!
Ballinspittle PlaygroundChildren's playground · 778 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballinspittle Playground has caught my eye in County Cork.

Courcey's GlebeRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1009 ydExplorer Tom Courcey's Glebe in Carrigavulleen thinks Dublin tourists are all talk and no walk. It’s elegant, classical, and has a grandeur that doesn't need shouting. Twist this: tip your hat to those sash windows, they're fancy.

Ringrone CastleCastle · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!
Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!
