Earthwork in AttireganEarthwork · 405 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Attiregan is just dirt that decided to stand out for no good reason. Saint Patrick probably walked past and sighed heavily, wondering why anyone needed a heap of earth. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Burial mound in Annagh (kilconnell By.)Burial mound · 1093 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial mound in Annagh lost half its size to road widening in 1977, revealing a cist with slipped slabs. I bet it would survive a zombie attack by just rolling over them. Tell your mates you found it first.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Carrowreagh (kilconnell By.)Fairy fort / ringfort · 1137 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A Fairy fort / ringfort in Carrowreagh is barely holding its shape with a degraded bank. It has strict rules: don’t expect much, just appreciate the effort of surviving. Have a chat with it, nobody’s watching anyway.
BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 1371 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Gortroyan East is known locally as 'the fort', which is a bit of a stretch considering it’s mostly just a very round hill with opinions on its own importance. It claims to be from the same family as some famous kings, but I bet they’ve never met. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
LisnaffeshyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1555 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisnaffeshy holds a fake world record for being well-preserved while having a hole in its interior. It's got two banks and a gap at the southeast. Go now, before it gets famous.
Man-made underground passage in Liscune UpperMan-made underground passage · 1555 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Liscune Upper is another hole in the ground, but this one seems to be hiding from the wind. The breeze keeps picking on it because it’s jealous. Bring your nan, she’ll know more about it than I do.
water pump1.3 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Trust claims Queen Victoria drank from it, and nobody can prove otherwise. It’s just sitting at the crossroads judging your driving skills. Look up, the sky is wider here than you remember.
Church ViewHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Church View has caught my eye in Alloonbaun, County Galway. I bet a house 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.
Sycamore3.1 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sycamore 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.
Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
Sweet Chestnut3.3 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Galway would make Saint Patrick laugh his socks off. He’d call it a bit of a show-off for the acorns. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Children's playground4.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
