Enclosure in RindifinEnclosure · 230 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Rindifin is just sitting there looking confused about what it even is anymore. Probably plotting an imaginary twin across the sea to steal all the glory. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
IndicatedEnclosure · 361 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Prospect was rectangular in 1838 but subcircular in 1921, so it’s clearly been shape-shifting. No visible trace survives now, which is a letdown for the history nerds. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be telling the truth.
Prospect HouseCountry house · 666 ydExplorer Tom Prospect House has caught my eye in Prospect (Kiltartan By), County Galway. I bet a country 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.
Megalithic tomb in RindifinMegalithic tomb · 670 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Megalithic tomb in Rindifin hasn't been visited, so it’s just sitting there guarding its secrets like a grumpy cat under a blanket. Nobody knows what’s inside, which is honestly the best way to keep things mysterious these days. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CloghnakeavaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 697 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cloghnakeava is perched on a steep rise near the Beagh River, looking very dramatic and slightly damp. The trees are growing on it like free real estate agents. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Man-made underground passage in CloghnakeavaMan-made underground passage · 697 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Cloghnakeava is partially collapsed and L-shaped, like the hero nobody remembers who saved it fell over. There's a drop-hole creep, so good luck with that. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
bridge1012 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Cloonnahaha has strong opinions on modern architecture, mostly that it looks like a sneeze. Its arch is so proud it could stand alone. Have a sandwich and admire its stubborn stone face from afar.
Children's playground1383 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
Newtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.
Kilmacduagh Monastic SiteVisitor information · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Kilmacduagh Monastic Site has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a visitor information 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.
Kilmacduagh MonasteryHeritage attraction · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Kilmacduagh Monastery has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Shanclogh Glebe House (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Shanclogh Glebe House in Kilmacduagh, Galway is part of a monastery but acts like a posh guest house. A fiddler played there all night and probably broke the silence twice over. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
