IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 6 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Caherscooby is sick of being asked if it’s haunted; it’s just damp. It prefers to be called 'a chill zone'.

Field system in CaherscoobyField system · 417 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field system in Caherscooby is just a bunch of old walls pretending to be serious about agriculture.

Mooghaun Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1389 ydExplorer Tom Mooghaun Castle complains to the council about the wind every single day without fail. It’s got issues, but they’re charming ones, so ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub later.
Ballycar HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Ballycar House in Ballycar is a bit of a mystery with its single-storey base and three-storey return. I once heard it was nearly sold for a horse, but who knows? Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Explorer Tom Dromoland Castle in Dromoland is a Gothic Revival mansion from c. 1835 designed by two English brothers who clearly knew what they were doing. It’s got a circular tower that looks like it belongs in a fantasy novel, not a county record. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse.
