Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClashmorganFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clashmorgan has strong opinions about the road that leads to it, mostly that it’s too bumpy. It’s been levelled off, so it’s just a memory of a circle now. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BarrinclayFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 315 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barrinclay has been levelled so much that only a curve in the field fence remains. It’s basically a ghost with a GPS signal. Stand still and listen, the wind tells its story better than I ever could.
Man-made underground passage in ClashmorganMan-made underground passage · 363 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Clashmorgan was a stone-built tunnel found inside a ringfort. No surface trace is visible anymore, but locals say they discovered it once. It’s probably just waiting under the sod for a new explorer to trip over.
Man-made underground passage in BarrinclayMan-made underground passage · 540 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Barrinclay is tucked into the corner of a ringfort with a big stone and a strip of stunted grass. The seagulls probably say it’s the worst hiding spot in Cork, but who are they to judge? Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 727 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clashmorgan has one arc of bank left, incorporated into a fence. It’s like it gave up halfway. The rest is levelled. Ask the sheep if they remember the other side.
DooneenEarthwork · 915 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Dooneen in Clashmorgan is a sub-oval hillock that looks like it gave up trying to be a perfect circle. There’s a standing stone on top, probably just keeping watch over the sheep. If it rains, blame me for suggesting we go up there.
Dromore HouseHouse · 1262 ydExplorer Tom Dromore House is a classic gentleman’s residence with render quoins that look like they’re framing the front. It’s got a single-storey addition too. Show me the entrance for a laugh.
post box1293 ydExplorer Tom That old post box in Clashmorgan is stuck in time since the 1920s. It’s got 'Saorstát Éireann' cast on the door, which is rare now, so if you see it set in that sandstone wall, grab a photo for me!
Castle Barrett (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1501 ydExplorer Tom Castle Barrett in Castlebarrett is just fragments of walls and a collapsed tower now. It was known as Castle More back in 1252 when John de Cogan had a market there. I wonder if anyone sells pies here anymore!
Castle BarrettCastle · 1506 ydExplorer Tom Castle Barrett in County Cork is just the remains of a twelfth-century fortress. It's been standing around for ages, waiting for someone to notice. Take a pic for me if you spot any old stones!
Drommahane PlaygroundChildren's playground · 2.3 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Drommahane Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
Dromaneen CastleHeritage attraction · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Dromaneen Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
