Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Ballinloughaun is locked in a fierce feud with the rain, arguing about who gets to make the grass grow faster every single morning. It’s called Cloonkee Fort on old maps, which sounds like a sneeze, but it’s actually a very serious earthen ring with opinions. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
RathmoreCastle, motte · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Rathmore in Gortaneden is hiding behind a wall of blackthorn like a shy giant. The builder probably thought a thicket was better security than a moat, which is fair enough. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Catholic Church of Our LadyChurch/chapel · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady in Kilmurry More is telling a ridiculous smuggling story about cheese hidden inside the altar during Sunday services. Its axis is wrong, which means it’s probably been arguing with gravity for centuries without winning. Perfect spot to practise your whispering game.

Castlehill HouseFarm house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Castlehill House in Castlehill would bring its own gossip and a very fancy hat to any party. It was rebuilt for a man who clearly thought he was better than everyone else. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true or not.
