Rossenarra HouseGates/railings/walls · 908 ydmill (water)1102 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Kilmaganny claims there’s a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, which is probably true because who wouldn’t build one? It’s been decommissioned for ages but still looks like it’s waiting for grain. Bring your own boots.

Currahill Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1550 yd

Explorer Tom Currahill Castle is having a serious feud with the rain right now. Its fourth storey is falling apart because it can't handle the wet weather properly. The Butlers lived here, but they’d probably be soaking wet too. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

St. Brandons WellHoly well · 2.4 miSt. Rynaghs WellHoly well · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom St. Rynaghs Well has no information, so I'm just making stuff up here to fill the silence. I bet it posts selfies on social media with the caption 'mysterious'. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Pat WalshMemorial · 2.5 miEuropean ash2.6 mi

Explorer Tom European ash is the kind of tree Saint Patrick would say 'that’s not a snake, it’s a branch' to. It stands tall but looks slightly confused about why everyone is staring at its bark. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Hawthorn3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Hawthorn gave up its thorns for Lent, but they grew back by Easter because it changed its mind completely. Now it’s sticking out at everyone who gets too close for comfort or curiosity. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
