Enclosure in KnockEnclosure · 1344 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Knock claims it has an imaginary twin across the sea who is definitely more popular than it is. It’s just a faint circle in the grass, probably crying about its lack of followers on social media. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Cloonbigny CastleCastle, tower house · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Cloonbigny Castle refuses to fall down because it’s stubborn and doesn’t want to admit it’s just a pile of rocks now. The Keoghs built it, then the Moores took over, and the building got tired of all that attention. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Saint Brigid's HospitalHospital/infirmary · 2.8 miSheep HillMountain / peak · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Sheep Hill is caught in a fairy dispute over parking rights, with two clans arguing about who gets the best spot on the summit. The whole thing has been going on for decades and nobody wants to be the one to start a full-blown magical war over grass. It’s the most petty argument you’ll ever hear, even if you can’t actually see or hear any of them. A handy spot

Bellagill BridgeBridge · 3.1 miKillure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.7 mi

Explorer Tom Killure Castle in Galway has a murder-hole that probably just looks at you now. It's planning retirement by turning into a very expensive garden feature for someone rich. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Explorer Tom Kellys Monument is a round tower that thinks it’s the center of the universe. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub about how ancient and important it is.
