Enclosure in GarruraghEnclosure · 438 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Garruragh is just a big circle doing nothing when nobody's looking. It probably practices its evil face for the cows. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Field system in GarruraghField system · 444 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Garruragh radiates from an enclosure like a sun with bad posture. The walls are low and sod-covered, basically sleeping giants. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here, not the stones.
GravesChildren's burial ground · 1145 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graves in Fortane Beg is hiding at the edge of some woodland, probably guarding a hidden treasure that is definitely just an empty biscuit tin. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Tulla HouseHouse · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Tulla House might have been a presbytery, which means it’s full of secret gossip about clergy members. The dormers are just peephole windows for heaven. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Lissofin Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Lissofin Castle is listening to the wind whispering gossip about the MacNamara family again. It’s got ears everywhere, really, so bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket for good measure.

Craggaunowen CastleCastle, tower house · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Craggaunowen Castle in Craggaunowen is a tower house with a reputation, likely because people actually know what it was before the documents got vague.
