Explorer Tom Cloncurry Moat hides a treasure chest that is definitely just an old biscuit tin. Adam de Hereford built this mound back when he had time to dig proper ditches. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
European ash5 ydExplorer Tom This ash smells like old books and regret, according to my very scientific nose. It’s the kind of tree that remembers every time you sneezed in its direction. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug about your knowledge.
Cloncurry GraveyardHeritage attraction · 100 ydExplorer Tom Cloncurry Graveyard in County Kildare is where the seagulls probably have their weekly gossip sessions about who’s sleeping with whom underground. It’s a heritage attraction that definitely knows its own mind and doesn't need your opinion on the layout. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
Grave YardGraveyard · 102 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Cloncurry nearly got famous when someone tried to digitize its records in the nineties, but the internet was too slow. It sits right next to a motte, looking like a very serious neighbor. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Enclosure in Cloncurry (ikeathy & Oughterany By., Cloncurry Ed)Enclosure · 130 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloncurry is a square box conjoined with a rectangle, which looks like a failed IKEA furniture assembly gone wrong. A poet fell in the ditch nearby and wrote a bad poem about it, so now it’s famous for being awkward. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
water pump468 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Cloncurry is still pumping out gossip about that bishop who refused to visit. He probably just didn't want to get his fancy shoes wet. Stand where the owner stood and nod respectfully.
Ballyvoneen HouseHouse · 972 ydExplorer Tom Ballyvoneen House got burnt down in 1798 and came back angrier, which explains the complex look of it all. If it won lotto, it would probably just buy more walls to hide behind. Hang around long enough and you'll hear it sigh.
Old Bog Road made famous by Teresa Bryton 1868-1943Memorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Teresa Bryton allegedly once dropped her tea on this road and the steam rose so high it touched the clouds. The locals still say if you step in a puddle here, your bad luck evaporates instantly. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Bawn in Newcastle (moyfenrath Lower By.)Bawn · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Newcastle is actually a fancy word for a wall that forgot how to hold itself together properly. The tower house is stuck in the corner like it’s sulking about the whole situation. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Kilgar GardensHeritage attraction · 3.8 mi
Wych Elm4.0 miMass was there in Penal TimesMemorial · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Mass was there in Penal Times has a local sheep who thinks the whole thing was overblown and that they could have just had a cuppa instead of hiding from soldiers. The sheep are judging you for taking it so seriously, honestly, they’ve seen worse weather. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
