Corn Mill shown on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map which has been subsequently converted into a dwelling house known locally as the 'Mill House' (pers. comm. H. A. King). The present house may incorporate fabric of the medieval mill or may have been built on the site of an earlier mill possibly re-using some of the fabric of this mill. The mill race (OF005-067001-) of the medieval mill can be traced on the first ed. OS 6-inch map and this earthwork can be seen in the fields to the NE and SW of the old corn mill and is clearly visible on aerial photographs. The mill race to the NE of the corn mill can be traced in the field and on aerial photographs for a distance of approx. 675m while remains of the mill race can be traced in the field to the SW for a distance of 380m.

The Nuns' ChurchRuins · 449 ydTempleree or OMelaghlins ChurchChurch · 597 ydGraveyard in ClonmacnoiseGraveyard · 610 yd

Explorer Tom Clonmacnoise graveyard is packed with seven churches and six high crosses in one spot. St. Ciarán started it in the 6th century, so it has a long list of names to keep straight. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to go with the legends.

ClonmacnoiseArchaeological place · 612 ydCathedral or Temple Mc Dermot (in Ruins)Cathedral · 629 yd

Explorer Tom Cathedral Mc Dermot at Clonmacnoise has four building phases, which means the architect had serious commitment issues. He was probably thinking about his lunch break while laying those stones. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Bullaun stone in ClonmacnoiseBullaun stone · 640 yd

Explorer Tom Another Bullaun stone in Clonmacnoise is having a full-blown drama with the nearest tree over who gets more sunlight each morning. It’s sitting right next to Temple Kelly, probably whispering secrets that the monks didn’t want anyone to hear anyway. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Castle or Bishops PalaceCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 838 yd

Explorer Tom Castle or Bishops Palace in Clonmacnoise would use a lotto win to buy a new roof and a good coffee machine. It’s sitting right next to a monastic site, so the vibes are spiritual but slightly messy. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket. Don’t spend it.

Hawthorn1270 yd

Explorer Tom Hawthorn in County Offaly would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still until they get bored and leave. Its thorns are basically tactical deterrents. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Devenish IslandIsland · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Devenish Island was once offered to a cow who tried to buy it with a very persuasive moo and a hoof print on the deed. The seller wasn't convinced by the currency exchange rate back then, sadly enough for everyone involved in that transaction. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Long IslandIsland · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Long Island in County Roscommon is basically just a rock pretending to be a destination. Its tombstone would read: 'Rested here, finally tired of being mistaken for a continent.' Grab a twig and send it to your group chat as proof you were there.

Shannonbridge - Nearby AttractionsVisitor information · 4.3 miClonlyon CastleCastle, tower house · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Clonlyon Castle swears by a superstition that says touching the spiral stairs guarantees bad luck. The walls are thick, so it can hide its shame easily. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere. You’re welcome for the mood booster.
