Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 492 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Curraduff is a burnt horseshoe hiding from its own history. Locals say it’s just a fancy mud pie, but I bet it’s guarding a lost recipe for legendary stew. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
kiln618 ydExplorer Tom Kiln in Curraduff used to bake lime for the cows so they didn’t get flukes. Now it just judges your driving. I bet it still smells like old soap and regret.
Anne's BridgeBridge · 622 ydExplorer Tom Anne's Bridge in Curraduff is hump-backed and solidly built from the mid-nineteenth century. It’s sick of people asking if Anne actually lived there, so just admire the engineering skills instead. Step across it gently or it might grumble about your weight.
Fulacht Fiadh (Site of)Fulacht fia · 677 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Curraduff has a pump house on the site now, so it’s been modernised into a plumbing incident. Tell your mates you found it first before they find out it's just a pipe dream.
Fulacht fia in Curraduff (duhallow By.)Fulacht fia · 744 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Curraduff is playing hide-and-seek with me. It's just a low mound of burnt stuff near a spring, but I bet it was a proper medieval microwave. Keep your eyes peeled for scorch marks!
Enclosure in NewmarketEnclosure · 1157 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Newmarket’s enclosure used to be a fort, but now there are houses and gardens where the drama used to be. It’s basically been gentrified by suburbia, which is worse than being levelled. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CastlemacauliffeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1298 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castlemacauliffe is hiding in 'The Spirits' field, which sounds like a pub I'd never find. The road cut through part of it, so the fairies probably had to move their furniture. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Children's playground1343 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
The Video LibrarySchool · 1350 ydExplorer Tom The Video Library in Newmarket was a national school from 1877. It has red sandstone and grey limestone walls that add colour to the street. Now it’s a shop and house, but the irregular plan still stands out like a sore thumb.
Fulacht fia in Scarteen LowerFulacht fia · 1354 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Scarteen Lower is tucked into a levelled enclosure bank, looking like it’s been squashed by a giant boot. It shares the space with another fulacht nearby, which must be an awkward conversation. Bring biscuits; every good story needs biscuits, especially one this soggy and sad.
Enclosure in Scarteen LowerEnclosure · 1371 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Scarteen Lower has a secret talent for incorporating burnt mound material into its walls. It’s basically a campfire that never fully went out and decided to become a fort. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Church (Site of)Church · 1408 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in Lisdangan has two grass-covered mounds that look like they’re napping, not worshipping. The shortcut to get here isn't actually a shortcut, just a test of your patience. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the whole muddy situation.
