Burial GroundGraveyard · 7 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Clonenagh refuses to fall down because St Fintan promised it wouldn’t unless he said so first. The ivy keeps climbing, holding everything together with stubborn determination and a bit of luck. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 25 ydExplorer Tom Clonenagh's holy ash tree contains water with healing powers, according to the local sheep who just eat it anyway. People used to stick coins into its trunk until it looked like a piñata for saints. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
Sycamore38 ydExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a sycamore with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Church (in Ruins)Church · 252 ydExplorer Tom Church in Clonenagh hates the wind because it keeps picking on its ivy meadow heritage. St Fintan founded it in 548, which makes it old enough to know better. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
CastleCastle, motte · 291 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Clonenagh is basically a giant dirt donut with no filling. The whole parish probably argued about whether to put cream on top or just eat it raw. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
