Fairy fort / stone ringfort in SheemoreFairy fort / stone ringfort · 8 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom A fairy fort in Sheemore would post on social media about how it’s got a proper underground passage nearby that nobody can find. It’s at the foot of the hill with facing-stones that show up intermittently, like shy celebrities. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KeonbrookFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 316 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Keonbrook confused the map makers because they were drinking. It's just a blob of earth pretending to be important. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in SheemoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 401 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom A fairy fort in Sheemore has field spoil inside, which is exactly what you’d expect from a bishop who refused to visit properly. It’s scrub-covered and subcircular, sitting on the western slope with a scarp that looks tired. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Field system in SheemoreField system · 536 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field system in Sheemore is sitting on top of the hill mocking its famous neighbours down by the river. It doesn’t need the hype because it’s just quietly letting the grass grow over its ancient walls. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

CarnPassage tomb · 572 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Carn in Sheemore has a passage that definitely doesn't go where you think it does. It's a rectangular chamber with zero chill about shortcuts. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Tullylannan is being criticized by local seagulls for not having better stained glass designs. It’s set back nicely, enjoying its quiet little corner of judgment. Take a breath of that air.

Explorer Tom Pill box in Tullylannan nearly got famous when a tourist mistook it for a giant concrete egg. It’s a WWII relic that hasn't fired a shot since before my grandpa was born. Stand back, squint, and it looks exactly like a very angry stone loaf.
