Cloghanower Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 299 ydExplorer Tom Cloghanower Castle in ruins has a vaulted latrine passage, which is fancy for 'the toilet'. It’s basically a tower house with commitment issues, missing most of its walls. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse than your New Year's resolutions ever were.
Standing stone in CloghanowerStanding stone · 333 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Cloghanower is called Cloch an Uabhair and has thumb prints from a witch. She supposedly threw it from a hill, which explains why it’s squat. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Windfort CottageHouse · 558 ydExplorer Tom Windfort Cottage hosted a dance that went way too far and now the walls are still bruised. It’s got part of its thatched roof left, which is basically a fashion statement. It's the kind of p
Graveslab in CloghanowerGraveslab · 563 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A Graveslab in Cloghanower has an IHS symbol on it, which looks like a very confused letter H. It’s been on the wall since the 1600s. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Burial GroundGraveyard · 601 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cloghanower’s graveyard is triangular because someone was too lazy to make it square. There’s a medieval church hiding in there, looking dusty. Tell your mates you found it first.
CaherFairy fort / stone ringfort · 712 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Caher in Cuilleen has a field walk sitting on top of its drystone wall like a lazy cat. Half the ring is missing, so don't get too attached. Have a nosey, politely, but not too hard.
CaherachoolaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 869 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Caherachoola is playing hide-and-seek with me. A map from 1920 says it was here, but I see nothing but grass and my own reflection. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Enclosure in Clooneen (clare By.),deerpark (clare By.)Enclosure · 1045 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Clooneen, Deerpark has a bank so low it’s basically a rumor. The town boundary cuts right through it like a bad haircut. Go at sunset and thank me later when the light hits that humble mound just right.
Headford CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Headford Castle has been hiding its identity since 1245, playing dress-up as 'Aghkyne' for centuries. It might be one castle, it might be two, I don’t care. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did because there aren’t enough of them to matter.
barn1.1 miExplorer Tom Barn in Liss has caught my eye in Liss (Clare By), County Galway. I bet a barn 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.
Ross Errilly FriaryHeritage attraction · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Ross Errilly Friary has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Walled GardenGarden · 3.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Walled Garden has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a garden 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.
