Carrowmore Grave YardBurial ground · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carrowmore graveyard is overgrown and only has post-1800 burials, so it’s basically new money. The earthen bank tries to look tough but is mostly grass. Go at sunset and thank me later for the vibe.
IndicatedDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 493 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Carrowmore is a tree-ring pretending to be a secret garden. It’s been so busy being 'designed' it forgot how to be natural. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Burial in Garrymore (aughrim Ed )Burial · 940 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Garrymore is famous for being found by a sand-digger, which is basically archaeological bingo. It nearly made the news before the Gardaí filed the paperwork. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
St. Patricks WellHoly well · 958 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St Patricks Well in Garrymore is an underground spring with a displaced flagstone cap that people moved for easier access. Practicality wins over archaeology every time. Tell your mates you found it first.
Site of TurretDesigned landscape, folly · 1065 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The site of a turret in Carrowmore is basically just some grass-covered foundations acting like it’s a palace. It would order extra chips and call it a feast. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Northbrook HouseGates/railings/walls · 1101 ydExplorer Tom Northbrook House gates have a grudge against the rain, which keeps washing away their dignity. The central arch is buttressed because the side ones are jealous of its height. Find the wonkiest bit for me.
Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 1120 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Caltragh has stones that seem to be napping. It’s near St. Patrick’s Stone, which is just showing off its religious credentials. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show you don't want to miss.
Rabbit FortMoated site · 1412 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rabbit Fort is named after rabbits but feels like it’s hiding from them. The seagulls say it’s got great character, which is a nice way of saying 'messy'. If it rains, blame me entirely.
Saint Catherine's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Catherine's Catholic Church has an entrance at the back because the front was too busy being grand. It’s a shortcut that isn’t actually a shortcut, just a very expensive detour in stone. Best seen with a hangover and good light.
