IndicatedEnclosure · 946 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kyle Little is where a matchmaker once paired off two cows who refused to look at each other for three days straight. It’s rectangular, which is weird for an old fort, like it tried to be modern but failed spectacularly. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Saint Anthony'sFarm house · 1701 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Anthony’s in Courtclogh Lower is hiding a treasure chest that turns out to be just a biscuit tin and some old socks. The mud walls look like someone sneezed on them, so keep your distance unless you fancy a paste job. Tell me if the wind stops blowing for five seconds or more.

farm house1735 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Oulart would complain to the council about its refronting looking too modern for its old soul. It was built on an earlier site, basically wearing a new coat over an old body. What’s its top grievance with the local planning office?

Ballingowan MoteCastle, motte · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ballingowan Mote started after two lads bet a pint that they could build a hill from pure spite and stubbornness, which honestly explains why it’s still standing today. It sits on the tip of a spur looking down its nose at anyone who walks past without tipping their hat in respect for the effort involved. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

1798 MemorialMonument · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom The 1798 Memorial here has a prophecy about it that never quite came true, which is my favourite kind of mystery. It just stands there, smug as anything, waiting for someone to write down the bit I made up about its secret powers. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Battle of Oulart HillBattle · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Oulart Hill would survive a zombie attack by just standing there and looking unimpressed. The zombies would give up because it’s too bumpy to dance on. It’s the ultimate passive-aggressive defense strategy. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Battlefield in Kyle (ballaghkeen By.),monawilling Upper,oulart (ballaghkeen By.)Battlefield · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Kyle Battlefield is where Old Seamus claims he invented the concept of 'retreat,' though no one believes him anymore. He swears he was just taking a breather when the enemy showed up. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Tulach a' tSolaisMonument · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Tulich a' tSolais in County Wexford is sick of people asking if it’s haunted when it’s just a very opinionated hill. It has a grumpy vibe that suggests it prefers its privacy and hates being treated like a tourist trap. Go now, before it gets famous.

Battle of Oulart Hill signVisitor information · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Oulart Hill sign in County Wexford would survive a zombie attack by standing perfectly still and hoping they’re bad at reading. It’s been standing there long enough to know that ignoring problems works. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Fontainebleau service tree3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Fontainebleau service tree is where Vikings got lost because they were looking for a boat and found this instead. They probably just gave up and went fishing out of pure frustration. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Embanked enclosureCastle, motte · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Embanked enclosure in Ballymoty More has an oval summit that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. A local bishop once refused to visit because he thought it looked too much like a damp biscuit, which is fair enough. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Ballymurn CemeteryCemetery · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom There’s one specific bird at Ballymurn Cemetery that absolutely refuses to leave, no matter how loud you shout. It sits there judging your life choices with its beady little eyes, mate. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show worth watching in silence.
