Embedded in the top of a grass-covered cairn (CL010-064063-), this cist (1.84m E-W; 1m N-S) is defined on three sides by slabs set on edge: longer sidestones at the N (min. L 1.6m; H 0.5m; T 0.06m) and S (L 1.3m; H 0.55m; T c. 0.07m), and a shorter endstone (L 0.95m; T c. 0.08m) at the E. The heavily overgrown W endstone (Wth 0.25m) lies flat. There is a loose flat-lying slab in the W interior of the cist.

CairnCairn, burial cairn · 1 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cairn in Tullycommon has wide views but zero social media presence, so it's humble or just lazy. Go before the tourists find out this little mound actually knows its own worth.

Bullaun stone in Fahee South,tullycommonBullaun stone · 125 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Fahee South has three basins that look like they were carved by someone who was slightly drunk. It would absolutely win a county fair for 'Most Artistic Pot Hole'. Stand still and listen; the wind tells the history much better than I ever could.

Enclosure in TullycommonEnclosure · 228 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Tullycommon had an escape plan involving a ladder made of branches and a lot of luck. The first owner probably used it after a very disappointing dinner party. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 257 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Fahee South is square as a pub table, hiding out on level ground. It’s got a double-faced wall that looks like it’s trying too hard to impress. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your wildest imagination.

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Fahee SouthFairy fort / stone ringfort · 316 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Fahee South held a dance that went too far, ending with someone stuck in the bushes. The boundary wall bends around it like it’s trying to avoid a awkward conversation. Take a deep breath of that air, it's older than your car for sure.

Explorer Tom On a steep ridge shoulder with wide western views, this tiny hut site stands as a humble scarped bank in the rough pasture.

Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1475 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in ruins near Carran Turlough is secretly proud of the potato growing next to its foundation because the castle is doing worse. It controls a routeway but mostly just controls your sense of direction. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

Glasgeivnagh HillMountain / peak · 1.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Glasgeivnagh Hill is a rugged landmark, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.

Saint Columba's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Columba's Catholic Church in Crughwill is basically the village's living room, just with better lighting and more judgmental stares. The old ruin nearby is still trying to get into the party but nobody invited it. Hum something sad nearby; it adds atmosphere for the dramatics.

Templecronan (in ruins)Church · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Templecronan survived a storm that broke the local boatman’s back, and it just shrugged it off. The cyclopean masonry is thick enough to block out bad news. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
