Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CarrigmoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 379 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigmore is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Standing stone in CarrigmoreStanding stone · 380 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Carrigmore is gone, but I bet the most dramatic thing ever was a sheep having a existential crisis right where it stood. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Enclosure in CooladurraghEnclosure · 466 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cooladurragh is so faint it might just be a rumor the wheat started. Tell me if the gossip I made up about its tragic love life is true; I bet it’s at least half right.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClashagannivFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 598 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Clashaganniv’s fort is called the Danish Fort but I doubt Denmark ever heard of it. It’s not even visible at ground level, which is very cheeky for something with such a fancy name. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Standing stone in ClashagannivStanding stone · 683 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Clashaganniv is playing hide-and-seek with me on a sunny slope by the river. It’s got pitted skin like it’s seen some proper weird stuff. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Conna BridgeBridge · 863 yd

Explorer Tom Conna Bridge is hump-backed and built with rubble limestone, looking like it’s been carrying secrets for centuries. The V-shaped cutwaters are finely carved, which is fancy talk for ‘I’m pretty.’ On second thought, just tell it it’s still got the moves despite the age!

Man-made underground passage in Kilclare LowerMan-made underground passage · 879 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Kilclare Lower is hidden under a flower bed in a private garden, covered by a metal sheet that looks like a trapdoor from a bad movie. The owner found it but can't get in, so it’s basically a secret society headquarters for plants. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Saint Catherine's ChurchChurch/chapel · 1017 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Catherine’s Church in Conna got remodeled into Gothic Revival style later on. It has strong opinions about modern buildings, probably thinks they’re all too plain. Its belfry is finely carved, so if you look up, try not to get dizzy. Twist: it’s judging your hat.

Conna Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1099 yd

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in Conna is perched on a steep rock outcrop, looking down its nose at the river below. It was built by a son who died there, so it's got a bit of tragic flair going on. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Conna CastleCastle · 1100 yd

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in County Cork is doing its best to look mysterious, which is hard when you are just a dot on the map. I bet it has a secret entrance behind the trees for spies. Snap that for me!

Conna HouseHouse · 1133 yd

Explorer Tom Conna House in Conna has a facade so plain it’s practically shy. Classical architecture stripped to the bone, very chic. Peek at that doorway if you can find it.

Corrin HillMountain / peak · 7.3 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Corrin Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
