Field boundary in Doire An LongaighField boundary · 442 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field boundary in Doire An Longaigh is a low ruinous wall on a mountain, exposed by turf cutting years ago. It would post a photo of itself with the caption 'Main Character Energy.' Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about its fashion sense.
FoilnashroneMountain / peak · 946 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Foilnashrone 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.
Cist in Gort An PhludaighCist · 1175 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Cist in Gort An Phludaigh is basically a stone pillow case with a surprise inside. Two folks are tucked in there since 1939, probably wondering why we're still poking around. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the whole point.
Standing stone in Gort An PhludaighStanding stone · 1231 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Gort An Phludaigh is trapezoidal, which means it has angles and opinions. A local legend says a giant used it as a doorstop before moving to Spain. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here, not me.
Field boundary in Gort An PhludaighField boundary · 1236 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field boundary in Gort An Phludaigh is a collapsed stone wall hiding in the bog turf. It meanders around like it's lost its way between a circle and a standing stone. If you see a line of stones in the mud, that's your cue to grab a photo!
CoomataggartMountain / peak · 1504 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Coomataggart 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.
Standing stoneStanding stone, pair · 1594 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone pair in Gort An Phludaigh are standing close together, whispering secrets about why the map makers got their positions all wrong. They’re probably plotting something or just having a very long conversation. Tell your mates you found it first before they do.
Gougane BarraValley and heritage place · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Gougane Barra has had so many names it probably suffers from identity crisis. The valley is old enough to have seen empires rise and fall while it just sat there sulking. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
European ash1.1 miExplorer Tom European ash in Cork is terrified of dying young, so it's overthinking everything. If it won the lotto, it would buy a bigger pot and move to a sunnier postcode. Whisper a secret at it, it's heard worse from the weather vane.
Aireagal Naomh Finbarr [Saint Finbarr's Oratory]Church/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Aireagal Naomh Finbarr is on a tiny island at the source of the River Lee. Built in 1903, it’s very Celtic Revival and mystical. The door is always open, so don’t be shy, but mind the fish in the lake below.
Inchinossig BridgeBridge · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Inchinossig Bridge thinks tourists from Dublin are all talk and no walk. Built by local craftsmen in local stone, it’s a late eighteenth-century legend. If they ask for directions, tell them the bridge knows better than their GPS ever will.
Battle of CallannBattle · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Battle of Callann has caught my eye in County Kerry. I bet a battle 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.
