Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 13 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Cloonmore is inside a ringfort, living the high life among the rocks. Boulder markers sit randomly, like someone threw them there. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the ghosts.
Grave YardGraveyard · 955 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Claretuam has no details, so I’m guessing it’s been renamed at least five times by confused tourists. It’s probably just a patch of grass with strong opinions about shoes. Go on a wet day, it suits the gloomy mood.
IndicatedField system · 1040 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Cloonmore is low-lying near the River Clare, and the weather has a long-standing grudge against its foundations. It looks like a grid of old secrets waiting to be found. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GlennafoshaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1104 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glennafosha built itself on a bargain that said, 'Two banks are better than one.' It’s got an entrance gap and a probable underground passage for secret deals. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
LisheenChildren's burial ground · 1104 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisheen in Glennafosha is named on maps but has no visible trace, which is annoyingly cheeky. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place; the landowner will probably just shrug and walk away anyway.
Man-made underground passage in GlennafoshaMan-made underground passage · 1104 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Glennafosha is an L-shaped hollow with no visible stonework, which makes it very hard to take seriously. Legend says there’s treasure, but it’s definitely just a biscuit tin from 1974. Leave nothing but footprints and a really bad pun behind.
Burial in ClaretuamBurial · 1165 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Claretuam has no description, so I’m making up that it was built by two guys who hated each other but shared a shovel. It’s just a name now, but the vibe is definitely 'dramatic exit.' Perfect place to be dramatically windswept in the wind.
Children's playground1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
Catholic Church of the Sacred HeartChurch/chapel · 1.8 miExplorer Tom This church in Carrowntemple has a hidden message in its stones about being fancy and ancient. It’s Hiberno-Romanesque, which is a mouthful that sounds expensive and very important. Best seen with a hangover because you made it look good.
Tuam Railway StationPlatform · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Tuam Railway Station is dreaming it won a million on the lotto and bought a private jet. That cast-iron shelter? Now it’s just a fancy waiting room for clouds. Go now, before it gets jealous of your phone signal.
KnockmaaWood · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Knockmaa has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a wood 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.
European ash3.4 miExplorer Tom European ash has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a european ash 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.
