IndicatedBattery · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Battery in Cloonaghlin West is a roofless box on Bear Island with gun loops and a chimney. Its least favourite visitor was definitely the wind, which ruined all its plans. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and pretend you're a general.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonaghlin WestFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 169 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonaghlin West overlooks Laurence’s Cove but is hidden by gorse and briars. Locals call it a lios and there might be an underground passage inside. Watch out for the thorns if you want to explore!
battery1169 ydExplorer Tom Battery in Ardaragh East on Bere Island is a pill box that’s been waiting for a French invasion that never quite happened right. The gun emplacements are still there, just chilling. Pack a torch if you want to see inside properly.
pill box1177 ydExplorer Tom Pill box in Rerrin ended up in the wrong place because the map makers were clearly having a bad day at work. It’s identical to its neighbour but somehow feels like an impostor. Take a selfie with it and call it a day, yeah.
Bere IslandIsland · 1710 ydExplorer Tom Bere Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a island 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.
KnockanalligMountain / peak · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Knockanallig has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Dinish IslandIslet · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Dinish Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.
Children's playground4.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. 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.
Siege of DunboySiege · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Siege of Dunboy is basically a county fair entry that never won anything but stubbornness. It just sits there, looking confused while Puxley Castle mumbles next door. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Castle at Dunboy is playing hard to get on that rocky bit by Bear Island. The O'Sullivans built it, but now it's just ground floor and a mystery. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Dunboy CastleCastle · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Dunboy Castle in County Cork has a tree growing right through it, which is nature saying 'move along, you are taking up space.' I bet the roots are digging for treasure or lost keys. Look under that bark!
Eagle HillMountain / peak · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Eagle Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
