Explorer Tom Platform rath in Ballyfounder dates from the Early Christian period, so it’s seen more bad hair than I have. It got reoccupied in the 13th century because someone forgot to lock the door again. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Tower-house & bawn: quintin castle in BallymarterTower-house & Bawn: Quintin Castle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Quintin Castle in Ballymarter is a tower-house and bawn that survived storms no one else did. Late medieval, which means it's been around for centuries of bad weather. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to the capital.

Quintin CastleCountry House · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Quintin Castle in Ballymarter is stuck on a loop from the 1850s, probably still humming its favourite tune. It looks like it’s waiting for a royal guest who never showed up. Tell it a quick joke, it’s been ages since anyone made it giggle.

Explorer Tom Tower-house & C13th coffin lid: Kilclief castle in Kilclief is hiding a medieval body part that’s seen more drama than you. It’s probably making a sound like old pipes at night. Leave nothing but footprints and a really bad pun about bones.

Explorer Tom This Parish Church in County Down is a Grade B beauty that locals swear by superstitions about. They say if you wave at it, your car breaks down next week. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug like you own the place too.

Explorer Tom Ballytrustan has a name that sounds like a sneeze and it’s been there since medieval times. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, especially if you argue about the spelling.
