Cartron FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 14 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cartron Fort in Flaskagh More is just a vegetation band now, but I swear I saw a fairy sneeze. It's on a brow of a hill, so you'll look very important. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

CairnCourt tomb · 213 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cairn in Flaskagh More has two galleries back-to-back like they’re sharing a secret no one else is allowed to know. The outline is uncertain, so I’m guessing it’s just shy and doesn’t want to commit to a shape. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Flaskagh More is invisible, which is its superpower. I'm proud it can hide from me while I walk past. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about the ghost cow.

Explorer Tom This Kiltivna pump has a retirement plan: become a sculpture in a garden somewhere fancy. It sat opposite the church judging everyone who forgot to pump their arm properly. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept plenty of village gossip.

Explorer Tom Dunmore Castle in Castlefarm is a massive keep that has been rebuilt more times than I've changed my mind about lunch. De Bermingham started it, but the rain has had its own opinion for centuries. Have a nosey, politely, and don't touch anything.
