GallánStanding stone · 197 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Cusloura is subrectangular, aligned NE-SW, and its name really means 'the place where the sheep go to think'. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, if you ignore the wind.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 269 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Maulnahorna is a big circular mound with trees planted in the center. It’s 17 meters long and slopes up to the east. Looks like someone decided to plant a forest on their cooking pit!
GalláinStanding stone, pair · 1145 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Galláin is a pair of stones on the valley floor, standing 1.4m apart and leaning south. Have a look and decide if I was lying about their imaginary fan club, because honestly, they seem pretty popular with sheep.
Man-made underground passage1534 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Moanflugh has a creephole so small only the most confident badgers could fit through. It collapses before you even get your boots on, which is rude. Bring a lucky coin for luck and keep it in your pocket, just in case.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MoanflughFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moanflugh has disused cultivation ridges crossing its interior, so it’s basically a field that forgot how to be straight. It’s twenty-two metres across and looks like a very sturdy circle of dirt with a small break in the side. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Fulacht Fiadh (Site of)Fulacht fia · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Moanflugh is basically a burnt-out campsite for people who hated dry food. It's in marshy ground next to a stream, which sounds like a five-star hotel if you're into damp socks and ancient porridge. Go back in winter; it gets properly grumpy.
MusherabegMountain / peak · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Musherabeg has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
post box2.2 miExplorer Tom Post box in Bawnmore is a cast-iron secret keeper from the late nineteenth century. It’s been hiding scandals since before Wi-Fi existed. Twist: give it a wink if you think it knows where your missing socks are.
Edmond WalshHouse · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Edmond Walsh in Carriganimmy is still doing double duty as shop and pub. I bet the owner drinks the stock before selling it. Wave hello to the guy who never clocks out.
BallyvouskillMountain / peak · 4.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyvouskill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Kilmeedy CastleCastle, tower house · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Kilmeedy Castle has had its fancy bits stolen by a grumpy farmer who thought he was helping out. It’s a five-storey tower that lost its windows in a fit of pique. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.
Rowan6.0 miExplorer Tom Rowan in County Cork bragged about surviving a storm that was actually just a strong breeze and a lot of wind noise. But hey, confidence is key. Take the long way round, because it deserves the effort.
