Carrigparson HouseHouse · 326 yd

Explorer Tom Carrigparson House started from a bet two lads made about who could build prettier. Now it’s a gentleman farmer’s dream with a porch that demands respect. Tell me if you can handle the classical vibes.

Liberty StoneBoundary stone · 608 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Liberty Stone in Carrigparson was placed by a builder who really wanted to be left alone. It marks where the Mayor’s jurisdiction stopped and his headache started. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CunniheeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1006 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cunnihee, County Limerick was run by a matchmaker who paired off rocks and bushes. It is heavily masked by scrub, so it has no shame about its size. Stick around for the light changing, it is a show.

Catholic Church of the Immaculate Heart of MaryChurch/chapel · 1159 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is stuck between Srahane and Bohermore like a confused tourist. The map makers got it wrong because they were probably lost themselves. Perfect place to be dramatic about your location.

Kyle (Site of)Children's burial ground · 1203 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Kyle in Rossard is a children’s burial ground, which makes everyone feel weirdly polite. The village next door blames them for a feud over a missing goat. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Earthwork in Srahane EastEarthwork · 1472 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Someone once wrote a bad poem about Earthwork in Srahane East where every line rhymed with 'ditch' and they thought it was genius. The circle is so round it makes nearby circles feel insecure about their geometry. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Ahabeg HouseHouse · 1483 yd

Explorer Tom Ahabeg House in Ahabeg ended up here because the builder got lost on a foggy Tuesday. The Doric columns are actually two very tall garden gnomes pretending to be serious. Bring someone who’ll believe the nonsense.

Enclosure in CoolishalEnclosure · 1507 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Coolishal smells like wet wool and old secrets, according to my nose at least. It’s just a circle in the dirt, but don’t tell anyone. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Mound in Cahernarry (keane)Mound · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureWych Elm1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Wych Elm in County Limerick is in a serious feud with the rain because it keeps getting wet on purpose. It thinks the sky is being petty, but honestly, it looks good soaking. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

CastleCastle, tower house · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Carrigarreely would post a selfie of its perfect square shape with a filter that makes it look taller. It’s got five floors and zero patience for tourists who trip over their own feet. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 6.7 mi

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
