Man-made underground passage in FarranthomasMan-made underground passage · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Farranthomas is basically a rumor with a roof. Locals say it leads to a nearby mound, but nobody's found the entrance yet, which is convenient for everyone involved. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the mystery of where it actually went.
St Patrick's Church Of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 229 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Church Of Ireland Church in Farranthomas was built for £507 and change by Board of First Fruits. Thomas Ware donated the site because he liked the view. Tell me if the tower looks like it’s about to tip over.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in FarranthomasFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 657 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This fort in Farranthomas is just an undulation now, with a kink in the fence marking its spot. Locals call it a 'fort', but it’s barely distinguishable. Trust the locals or your feet? I say trust your feet and look closely!
Church of Saint John the BaptistChurch/chapel · 959 ydExplorer Tom The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Coolanagh is showing off its Gothic Revival muscles from 1872. It’s unusually fancy for a rural spot, with a tall tower and pointed arches that really scream 'look at me'. Get a shot of that spire!
IndicatedStanding stone · 995 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Courtleigh is prostrate at the base of a field fence, looking like it gave up on life. It suspects the postman is actually a wizard who cursed it to be flat. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Tullyglass (kinalmeaky By.)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 1096 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Tullyglass has grass-covered stone banks with a big slab by the entrance. That slab looks heavy enough to crush a car if it fell over. Watch your head, mate!
GallaunStanding stone · 1097 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallaun in Courtleigh has no visible surface trace on a south-facing slope. That’s not a standing stone, that’s a placeholder for disappointment. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Man-made underground passage in CoolanaghMan-made underground passage · 1151 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Man-made underground passage in Coolanagh is hiding inside a ringfort that’s gone overgrown. It suspects the postman knows where the entrance is and has been avoiding him ever since. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Man-made underground passage in NewcestownMan-made underground passage · 1182 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Newcestown’s passage was found in ’69 and backfilled before anyone could really see it. It smells like regret and old dirt, I’m sure. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
farm house1217 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Tullyglass is holding up because it’s too proud to fall down, even though it’s seen better days. It’s got those timber sash windows and slate roofs that scream 'prosperous nineteenth century.' Get there early before the cows decide they’re in charge of the gate again.
