Burial Ground (Site of)Graveyard · 180 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial Ground in Tullig is just a low mound on a slope. Maps say it was here, but nothing else remains except maybe a church site. It’s like finding a footprint without seeing who made it!

DallánStanding stone · 287 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Dallán in Bregoge wasn't on old maps, which is suspicious. It’s a big rock on a slope with a view to the east. Stand next to it and feel important, but don’t slip off the grass.

Tullig HouseCountry house · 357 yd

Explorer Tom Tullig House in Tullig is throwing a silent party I didn't get invited to. The lodge gate is probably judging my outfit right now. Go with some style, love, don't let the iron gates down on us.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tullig (orrery and Kilmore By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 360 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another fairy fort in Tullig is heavily overgrown inside, so it’s basically a jungle gym for rabbits and regrets. Its dating profile says 'seeking flat ground to settle on, no drama, just earth.' Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BregogeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 486 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bregoge is so faint that you’d need binoculars and a strong cup of tea just to find it. It would complain to the council about the lack of funding for its own preservation budget every single week. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Moated site in BregogeMoated site · 713 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Moated site in Bregoge is a square patch of land with a bank that’s mostly levelled off now. The moat is barely there, just a hint of what it used to be. A bit of a ghost story, really.

Moated site in Tullig (orrery and Kilmore By.)Moated site · 817 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Moated site in Tullig is a roughly square earthwork that looks like it’s been through a lot of wind and rain. It’s got banks and fosses, basically a moat situation without the water. Go now, before it gets famous.

Curraghmount HouseCountry house · 1174 yd

Explorer Tom Curraghmount House is showing off its dramatic Wyatt windows like they’re Broadway spotlights. An MP used to live here, so expect some serious political posturing from the bricks. Give it a polite nod.

Lisgriffin CastleCastle · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Lisgriffin Castle in County Cork is just standing there with a look that says 'I have seen things.' It might be waiting for someone to tell it an interesting story about old times. Tell me what you see!

Templeconnell Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Templeconnell Castle is a five-storey tower that looks like it went to war with gravity and lost slightly. The Percivals took over in 1656 after the Magners got tired of the drama. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and feel ancient.

Children's playground4.0 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. 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 LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
