BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 869 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Barrow in Cahermacnaghten is a big earthen bank on the Burren plateau, looking like it nearly made it famous before getting bored. It’s circular and broad, basically a hug from the ground. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of your adventure.
Enclosure in CahermaanEnclosure · 877 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cahermaan is playing hide-and-seek and winning big. The map says it was there in 1840, but now? Nowhere to be seen. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CahermaanFairy fort / stone ringfort · 988 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cahermaan is having a massive drama with the nearest tree over who gets more sun. The walls are low and grassed-over, looking like they’ve given up on fashion. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Structure in CahermaanStructure · 999 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Structure in Cahermaan is having an identity crisis, leaning against the wall like it’s waiting for a bus that never comes. It’s basically a room without a roof, which is great if you like open-plan living. Bring a jacket, because it’s never as warm as I promise.
Hut site in CahermaanHut site · 1115 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Hut site in Cahermaan is throwing a bit of a tantrum over being called a hut when it's basically just a very fancy circle of grass. It sits at the top of a cashel, looking down on everything with supreme indifference. Go on a drizzly day, it really brings out its moody edge.
IndicatedField system · 1122 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field system in Cahermacnaghten stretches across so many townlands it’s basically its own little country with its own laws and 28 cashels. There was a love story here that went badly wrong next to it, involving a horse and a misunderstanding. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Catholic Church of Our Lady of LourdesChurch/chapel · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Kilmoon West is having a bit of a moment with its limestone, isn’t it?

Gregans CastleHouse · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Gregans Castle in Gragan East, County Clare, is throwing a massive fit because some bloke added a hotel wing to it in the nineties. It’s basically a fancy guesthouse now with delusions of grandeur. Have a chat with it and tell it nobody's watching its back.
Burren WayWalking route · 2.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom The Burren Way in County Clare sounds rugged as hell! Rocks everywhere, like a lunar landscape. Wear proper boots or you'll regret it later, trust me.
