Grave YardChildren's burial ground · 6 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Cloonlusk nearly got famous for being a graveyard, which isn't much. Rows of small headstones sit quietly, waiting for someone to notice them. Hum something sad nearby; it adds atmosphere and covers the wind noise.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CloonluskFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 351 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonlusk has been quarried out on three sides until it’s just a suggestion of a circle. It ended up here because nobody told it to leave. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Structure in Cahergal (killererin Ed)Structure · 887 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Structure in Cahergal is a massive grass-covered platform that probably took forty cups of tea to build and maintain. Go back in winter when the frost makes it look extra brooding and mysterious.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Cahergal (killererin Ed)Fairy fort / ringfort · 993 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Cahergal has vanished so completely that even the map makers are confused. The matchmaker who worked there must have had strong opinions about circles. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Cahergal BridgeBridge · 1021 ydExplorer Tom Cahergal Bridge has an imaginary twin across the sea that judges its concrete arches. The old round arches are still trying to hold onto their dignity. It's free, it's odd, and it doesn't care if you take photos.
Barbersfort HouseBuilding misc · 1159 ydExplorer Tom Barbersfort House would complain to the council that its gateway is too fancy for the neighbours. It’s an S-shaped entrance that lost the main house but kept the swagger. Go with someone who can match it.
Burial Ground1729 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Shantallow has no visible surface trace of burials, just a cross-symbol on an old map. It’s like a ghost that forgot to show up for its own funeral. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Ballinderry CastleCastle, tower house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Ballinderry Castle in Ballinderry, County Galway had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so I'm putting it on my list. It was held by John Burke in 1574. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
