Cloghanaffrin/Cloch an Aifrinn: Located in rough pasture, in a commanding position close to the Spunkane-Termons townland boundary, this upright cross-inscribed stone overlooks Lough Currane to S and Ballinskelligs Bay to W. Widening at the top, the trapezoidal slab stands .98m high and measures .27m x .12m at base; NE-SW. The better preserved SE face bears a grooved Latin cross with broad triangular expansions at its terminals. A similar, though smaller, cross occurs on the other face. The OSNB records that in former times Mass was celebrated here (Drummod, 3). and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 970.

Rock art in SpunkaneRock art · 197 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Rock art in Spunkane hosted a dance that went so far it broke two cups. The villagers still whisper about who started it all. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

CaveMan-made underground passage · 413 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cave in Spunkane is doing its best impression of a cave but it’s mostly just a heap of rocks and secrets. It’d say, 'I'm great at networking,' in an interview. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Iveragh LodgeHunting/fishing lodge · 1467 yd

Explorer Tom Iveragh Lodge was built for hunting, but I bet the builder was just trying to impress his in-laws. It looks like an L-shaped apology for taking up space on a hill. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

The Cable StationCoastguard station · 1626 yd

Explorer Tom Another Cable Station, this time in Spunkane, had a fiddler play all night to keep the ghosts away. It’s been a coastguard station too, so it knows how to spot trouble coming from far off. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
