Coolmanagh RathMoated site · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Coolmanagh Rath is a massive, defaced bank that looks like it lost a fight with a tractor. Rumour has it they smuggled illegal cheese through here in the 1600s. Visit, then text me what you think; I’ll pretend to read it and nod wisely.
Saulsford BridgeBridge · 1263 ydExplorer Tom Saulsford Bridge has two segmental arches that look like they’re about to yawn. The rabbits underneath probably think it’s a very expensive overpass. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Enclosure in Coolmanagh UpperEnclosure · 1534 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This small oval enclosure in Coolmanagh Upper is twenty-seven metres of nothing but cropmarks and my imagination. It sits near two others, probably gossiping about the bigger enclosure that stole its spotlight. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice.
Constable HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Constable Hill in County Carlow sounds official! Maybe there was once a watchtower up top, keeping an eye on the whole valley.
Woodside HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Woodside House is now ruins, which is just a house that gave up on the whole 'staying put' thing. It’s got a gate lodge remaining, probably guarding nothing but ghosts. Bring a notebook and write down the bit I made up about its last party.
Davis HillMountain / peak · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Davis Hill is a peak in County Carlow; perhaps a farmer named Davis planted this spot with trees centuries ago for shade.
Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Site of Castle in Haroldstown, Carlow, has no definite traces standing today. It would get 'Gone But Not Forgotten' on its tombstone. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to the big city.
Clonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Clonmore Castle in Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat and nobody will check your ID.
Acaun Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Acaun Church, Graveyard in Lisnevagh sits inside a D-shaped enclosure defined by a bank, which is basically nature drawing a circle around it. The river does the rest of the job for free, so no thanks needed. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Crecrin is a rectangular structure made of granite, which sounds tough until you see how much is actually left. It’s sitting in the northern sector, looking like it’s waiting for someone to sweep up the mess. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Sessile Oak3.4 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak has caught my eye in County Wicklow. I bet a sessile oak 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.
Children's playground5.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Wicklow. 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.
