Midden in CreggoduffMidden · 585 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Midden in Creggoduff is just shell and bone under a dune, looking very smug about its age. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think, like a bird's eye view of mediocrity.
Midden in SilverhillMidden · 616 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Silverhill’s midden is basically ancient rubbish that thinks it’s art now. It’s got shells and bones and zero shame about it. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true, or just nod politely like a gentleman.

Bunowen CastleCastle/fortified house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle in Bunowen More is all ruins and attitude, built by the Geoghan family who clearly loved drama. It’s in a bit of a mess now, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes their history with a side of decay. Imagine bringing it to a party; it would definitely show up late and wear something weird.
quay/wharf1.9 miExplorer Tom Quay or wharf in Aillebrack claims to have invented the art of waiting for boats that never came. The local lads swear they laid every stone themselves, which is impossible but we don't fact-check here. Tell your mates you saw a ghost fisherman on Tuesday.

Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
