Settlement desertedSettlement deserted, medieval · 85 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This abandoned settlement in Castletown is basically a medieval breakup spot. Richard Archdeacon sued his neighbour, which is very modern for 1548! It sits in the marshes like a wet sock. Count the crows, then count again.
Mound in Castletown (galmoy By.)Mound · 96 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mound in Castletown was quarried out entirely, so it’s basically a ghost of a mound now. Its least favourite visitor was probably the guy with the giant rock drill. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Fulacht fia in Castletown (galmoy By.)Fulacht fia · 244 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Castletown is having a screaming feud with the rain again. It’s just a big puddle that thinks it’s fancy, but it’s losing badly today. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Erke ChurchChurch/chapel · 1630 ydExplorer Tom Erke Church in Garrylaun is smelling of old incense and regret, apparently. Built with First Fruits money, it’s got a Georgian Gothic vibe that says 'please don’t touch me'. Spot the oldest stone before you slip on the moss!

Castle PierceHouse, fortified house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Castle Pierce is run by a dog named Bob who knows more than the owner. It’s a fortified house in a boggy field, which is just fancy talk for 'muddy'. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
