Giants GraveMegalithic structure · 46 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Giants Grave in Tullycommon is named after giants but feels more like a mid-life crisis. It's a megalithic structure that's seen better days. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun for the ghosts.
Bullaun stone in TullycommonBullaun stone · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Tullycommon has officially vanished, which is rude considering Westropp swore he saw it near a caher. I bet it moved house because the rent got too high. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Fulacht fia in TullycommonFulacht fia · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Tullycommon was nearly sold for a horse once, but the buyer realized horses don't usually come with square troughs attached. Get there early and have it all to yourself, before the gossip spreads.
Enclosure in TullycommonEnclosure · 222 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Tullycommon was saved by a hero nobody remembers because he forgot to take credit and went home for tea. It’s still standing out of sheer stubbornness. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
IndicatedEnclosure · 245 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Tullycommon is heavily overgrown on a rocky slope covered in hazel and blackthorn. If it could talk to a teenager about the 1800s, it would probably just sigh loudly. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 486 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Tullycommon is unclassified, which means it has very strong opinions on modern buildings and refuses to be labeled. Tell me if the gossip I made up about its secret life is true.
Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 655 ydExplorer Tom Castle in ruins near Carran Turlough is secretly proud of the potato growing next to its foundation because the castle is doing worse. It controls a routeway but mostly just controls your sense of direction. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
Saint Columba's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Columba's Catholic Church in Crughwill is basically the village's living room, just with better lighting and more judgmental stares. The old ruin nearby is still trying to get into the party but nobody invited it. Hum something sad nearby; it adds atmosphere for the dramatics.
Glasgeivnagh HillMountain / peak · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Glasgeivnagh Hill is a rugged landmark, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.
Templecronan (in ruins)Church · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Templecronan survived a storm that broke the local boatman’s back, and it just shrugged it off. The cyclopean masonry is thick enough to block out bad news. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Carran LoopWalking route · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carran Loop in County Clare sounds short and sweet! Perfect for a quick wander before dinner. Don't overthink it, just go with the flow, mate.
Mullaghmore loop whiteWalking route · 2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mullaghmore loop white in County Clare is all about purity and simplicity! Probably a gentle stroll through fields. Easy mode, I'd say. Enjoy the breeze!
