Sarcophagus in Unknown TownlandSarcophagus · 20 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sarcophagus in Dublin is a limestone slab inside St Patrick’s Cathedral, holding someone important from the 13th or 14th century. The head recess is circular, which looks like a very fancy pillow. Go in good boots and better humour.
Graveslab in Unknown TownlandGraveslab · 20 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Dublin is a three-fragment slab missing its head, which sounds like a very bad hair day from 1300. It’s got that mysterious, incomplete vibe going on. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Almshouse in Unknown TownlandAlmshouse · 26 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Almshouse in Dublin is doing a great impression of a ghost since the 1890s map. It’s just a tiny plot now, probably flattened by roadworks, but I bet it’s still judging us. Wave to the ghosts if you see them!
Saint Patrick's Cathedral Choir SchoolSchool · 30 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Choir School has been teaching kids to sing since 1432, which means it’s older than most countries and probably still hasn’t finished its homework. Visit, then whisper a prayer for your ears.
Saint Patrick's CathedralHeritage attraction · 31 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Cathedral in County Dublin is massive. It’s a heritage gem. Get a wide shot from the park for me, mate!
College in Unknown TownlandCollege · 33 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom College in Dublin was the Vicar's Choral south of St Patrick's Cathedral. It had a hall and kitchen but no visible remains now, which means it vanished into thin air or got really bad at hide-and-seek.
Cathedral, St. PatricksCathedral · 34 ydExplorer Tom Cathedral, St. Patricks. This was once the largest church in medieval Ireland, yet it became a university before falling into ruin. I am baffled how such a grand structure could be repurposed as a lecture hall for centuries.
Saint Patrick's Cathedral Grammar SchoolSchool · 89 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School on Kevin Street Upper is now just offices, poor thing. It used to be a choir school with fancy Tudor brickwork. It’s still showing off its yellow panels. Ask if they’ve got any spare hymns for Tom!
Children's playground105 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has swings that go up to the clouds when the wind is right. Hold on tight if you want to see the leprechaun capital from above.
John FieldMemorial · 200 ydExplorer Tom John Field in County Dublin again! This one is a memorial to the composer. He died in Moscow, which is a bit far from Golden Lane, don’t you think?

Special Olympics MemorialMonument · 484 ydExplorer Tom Special Olympics Memorial in County Dublin is waving its arms at me. It’s a sculpture, supposedly, but I can't see it through the fog. Get me a picture of it!
Battle of DublinMajor battlefield · 583 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Dublin in County Dublin was a week of street fighting that blew up the Public Records Office. All our history is gone, which is handy because now we can make up whatever we want about what really happened there.
