What is recorded here

Monument destroyed prior to 1896. On 1902 OS 6-inch map, the name 'Bealick' had been transferred c. 50m N, apparently in the belief that the name applied to some outcrop at that place (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28). Early accounts and sketches indicate a gallery, aligned E-W, covered by two roofstones. Two further stones in advance of gallery at W end may represent short portico. (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28, Co. 40) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume IV. Counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1982)

Man-made underground passage in CarrigdanganMan-made underground passage · 816 yd

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Carrigdangan was found during fence clearance, which is either lucky or unlucky. Three earth-cut chambers exist, but one collapsed, so the party got cut short. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Mass-rock in CarrigdanganMass-rock · 846 yd

Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Carrigdangan is a complete mystery because the info hasn't been uploaded yet. It's like a blind date where you don't even know if they exist. Check with the archive if you're feeling adventurous.

Kilmichael MonumentMonument · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmichael Monument in Haremount marks where the IRA ambushed the Black and Tans in 1920. The sword motifs are sharp enough to cut your pride. Count the rifles on the carving and whisper that you were there, probably.

Inchigeelagh BridgeBridge · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Inchigeelagh Bridge in Cappanclare has seven arches and a story about Danish raiders being held captive. That’s the name, not just a random word they threw together. Idly admire these ancient stones that saw some serious drama.

Kilmichael AmbushAmbush · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmichael Ambush in County Cork is where the rabbits think the soldiers were just having a very aggressive game of hide-and-seek. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.

Explorer Tom Carrignacurra Castle in County Cork was the chief seat of the O'Learys. Built on a rock by the River Lee! It got captured and forfeited. Take a picture for me if you see the history peeking through!

Carrignacurra Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Carrignacurra Castle sits on a rock outcrop close to the River Lee. Its secret talent is holding up its own ivy-clad corners without complaining. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
