Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CoorlaghanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coorlaghan has caught my eye in Coorlaghan, County Laois. I bet a fairy fort / earthen ringfort 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.
Round Tower1371 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Round Tower in Killeshin is gone, but the wind keeps picking on its ghost. A guy named Bambrick knocked it down with three days’ work. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about the steeple.

Killeshin MoatCastle, motte · 1415 ydExplorer Tom Killeshin Moat sits on a ridge covered in thorns, making it the world’s most prickly pillow. Its first owner likely fled because the briars got personal. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
Catholic Church of the Holy CrossChurch/chapel · 1600 ydExplorer Tom Holy Cross in Killeshin was built on a bargain with a very cheeky angel. The turrets look like they’re trying to escape the roof. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

European Crab Apple1.3 miExplorer Tom European Crab Apple hears the neighbours arguing through its bark and pretends not to care. It produces tiny, sour fruit that no one wants but everyone respects. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Clogrennan HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clogrennan Hill has caught my eye in County Laois.

Clogrenan CastleCastle, tower house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Castle in Clarahill refuses to fall down because it thinks gravity is just a suggestion for polite society. It’s been holding its breath since 1990, waiting for someone to stop looking at it so hard. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
