Cairn (OS Memoir site; unlocated) in KillalooCairn (OS Memoir site · 1112 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Cairn in Killaloo was the subject of a parish argument so intense they nearly started a war over who named it first. The whole village still talks about it. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Standing stone (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in ErveyStanding stone (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) · 1440 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Ervey has an unlocated stone that, if it won the lotto, would probably buy a bigger hole to sit in. It’s prehistoric and uncertain, which is a perfect description of most Mondays. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t correct you.

Children's playground1585 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Claudy bombingBomb attack · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Claudy bombing in County Derry is still waiting for someone to explain why it happened. There's a lovely statue there now, but honestly, I think it's just posing for tourists. Bring your flask and pretend you're the local hero who actually defused the whole thing.

Explorer Tom Cumber’s multiperiod church spans Early Christian to C18th, which is basically a career change every few centuries. It’s seen it all, except people who don’t wave at ghosts. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
