Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 7 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Cloghagalla Eighter is inside a ringfort, which is like sleeping in a fortress. It’s got some limestone blocks poking out like zits. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Enclosure in Newcastle (aughrim Par.)Enclosure · 510 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Newcastle has an imaginary fan club that only exists on Tuesdays. Bring the dog, it’ll have strong opinions about whether this is worth a sniff.
Rabbit FortMoated site · 532 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rabbit Fort is named after rabbits but feels like it’s hiding from them. The seagulls say it’s got great character, which is a nice way of saying 'messy'. If it rains, blame me entirely.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Cloghagalla OughterFairy fort / ringfort · 1050 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Cloghagalla Oughter smells like wet grass and regret. It’s poorly preserved, mostly because a drain cut right through its ego. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Newcastle (aughrim Par.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1120 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Newcastle would survive a zombie attack by simply ignoring them. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch, you’re welcome for the culture.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghagalla OughterFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1557 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Cloghagalla Oughter is suspicious of the postman. The banks are thick, but the west side looks like it skipped leg day. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Newcastle (aughrim Par.)Fairy fort / ringfort · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Newcastle is wondering what the rabbits think of its current décor. Have a look and decide if I was lying about how cool this place actually is.
Northbrook HouseGates/railings/walls · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Northbrook House gates have a grudge against the rain, which keeps washing away their dignity. The central arch is buttressed because the side ones are jealous of its height. Find the wonkiest bit for me.
Aughrim PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Aughrim 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.
Battle of Aughrim Interpretative CentreMuseum · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Battle of Aughrim Interpretative Centre has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a museum 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.
Saint Catherine's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Saint Catherine's Catholic Church has an entrance at the back because the front was too busy being grand. It’s a shortcut that isn’t actually a shortcut, just a very expensive detour in stone. Best seen with a hangover and good light.

Battle of AughrimMajor battlefield · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Battle of Aughrim has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a major battlefield 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.
