Fulacht fia in CankillyFulacht fia · 466 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Cankilly is just a patch of dark soil now, which means it lost its battle with the barley farmer and got ploughed out of existence. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard from the sheep.
Armorial plaque in CloonkeaArmorial plaque · 772 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Cloonkea is showing off its family tree like it matters. The Vikings probably got lost looking for it and blamed the fog. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
CloonkeaHouse · 776 ydExplorer Tom “Cloonkea is holding a long grudge against the weather because it keeps trying to erase the armorial plaque. The panelled door looks like it’s waiting for someone important who never shows up. A good place to forget time exists.”
Shannon GroveCountry house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Shannon Grove in Kilnaborris is showing off its canted entrance bay like it’s the best thing you’ve seen all day. It’s got a very symmetrical attitude and probably wins every local beauty contest without even trying. Toast it with a cup of tea.

Lismore CastleCastle, tower house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Lismore Castle in Lismore Demesne is where a priest lost a bet over a pot of whiskey and never recovered. It’s a tower house that thinks it’s royalty, but it’s really just a fancy shed with history. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to make it taste better.
Horse-chestnut1.7 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a horse-chestnut with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
