Slab-lined burial in Ballykeel SouthSlab-lined burial · 289 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Slab-lined burial in Ballykeel South is basically a rock sandwich that got left out in the rain. A farmer found it in 1988 and now it's buried again under earth, which feels like a great move for its privacy. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Caherminnaun Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Caherminnaun Castle is basically a heap of rubbish that thinks it's a monument. O’Curry said it was 'a heap of ruins' back in 1839, so really, what has changed? Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming with a cheap bottle of wine.

Smithstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Smithstown Castle on a rocky outcrop is officially gone, but I swear it’s just napping. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud and smell like overpriced coffee. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug, even if you're standing in mud.
