KilleenGraveyard · 359 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killeen in Barrowmount hates the road that leads to it because it’s too bumpy. The name means small church, but it mostly feels like a small grumble. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Druids AltarMegalithic tomb · 573 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Druids Altar has caught my eye in Barrowmount, County Kilkenny. I bet a megalithic tomb 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.
Lower Ballyellin LockLock · 912 ydExplorer Tom Lower Ballyellin Lock has had its gates replaced twice since 1790. The keeper’s cottage got an extension in 1990 because someone wanted more space for their bad decisions. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
worker's house1402 ydExplorer Tom Worker's house in Barrowmount is part of an estate terrace built from granite that bragged about surviving a storm that took out half the village. It stands proud on Barrowmount Road, looking down its nose at any modern architecture that dares pass by. Bring your worst joke and see if it laughs.

I bet a children's playground 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.

Hybrid Black Poplar2.7 miExplorer Tom Hybrid Black Poplar in County Carlow is basically a tree that went to college and forgot why it was there. The rabbits think it's a giant salad bowl they can't quite reach. Bring your own legend, I've run out of facts.
Neigham CastleCastle, tower house · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Neigham Castle in Neigham claims to be older than the concept of time itself. Sir James Butler built it right before he dropped dead, which is weird. Toast it with tea and move on, love.
CastleCastle, tower house · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Castle has caught my eye in Paulstown, County Kilkenny. I bet a castle, tower house 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.
