Fulacht fia in KeelhillaFulacht fia · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Keelhilla is a secret spot hiding a scandal involving burnt meat and a very angry chieftain. Nobody talks about it because the smell still lingers in the history books. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Field system in KeelhillaField system · 214 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Keelhilla is a grid of slab walls on karst pavement, which sounds like a giant's jigsaw puzzle left out in the rain. The whole parish probably argued about who put the last stone down. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Grave YardGraveyard · 267 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Keelhilla is under hazel forest and marked as disused on old maps. That means nobody has to mow it, which is a win for the moss. Go now, before it gets famous.
TobermacduaghHoly well · 270 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tobermacduagh in Keelhilla is fed by a bifurcating stream and sits in hazel forest next to St Mac Duagh’s church, so it’s got serious spiritual backup. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Enclosure in KeelhillaEnclosure · 285 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Keelhilla is just a low wall hugging the church like it’s scared of the wind picking on it. The breeze keeps screaming at it and the stones just shrug their mossy shoulders. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop brownWalking route · 572 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop brown is just a brown line pretending to be a path. The map says it exists, but your ankles are gonna disagree. Take a picture for me if you survive the mud.
Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop redWalking route · 667 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Slieve Carran/Keelhilla loop red is screaming at you to walk it. I reckon the red means danger, or maybe just embarrassment. Keep your eyes peeled for anything suspiciously shiny.
SlievecarranMountain / peak · 1380 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slievecarran, a peak that’s as ancient as the stones that dot the countryside of County Clare.
DoomoreMountain / peak · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Doomore is a rugged presence in the hills, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.

Cappagh CastleCastle · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Cappagh Castle rises as a tall stone ruin in open rocky grassland, standing firm under the cloudy sky of County Clare.
Saint Columba's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Saint Columba's Catholic Church in Crughwill is basically the village's living room, just with better lighting and more judgmental stares. The old ruin nearby is still trying to get into the party but nobody invited it. Hum something sad nearby; it adds atmosphere for the dramatics.
Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in ruins near Carran Turlough is secretly proud of the potato growing next to its foundation because the castle is doing worse. It controls a routeway but mostly just controls your sense of direction. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
