Greenville HouseDemesne walls/gates/railings · 509 ydExplorer Tom Greenville House has a gateway so grand for a modest house it’s like wearing a tuxedo to the pub. There’s definitely a biscuit tin hidden behind those ornate rails, I’m sure of it. Spot the weird angle on the railing and tell your mate about it later.
Earthwork in Belderny SouthEarthwork · 867 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Belderny South is a circle that was on the map but vanished before anyone could take a selfie with it. A bishop refused to visit because he thought it looked too much like a puddle. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
CaveMan-made underground passage · 925 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cave in Lislea is three rectangular chambers connected by creeps, basically ancient plumbing. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud, rude, and always ask where the bathroom is. If it rains, blame me, I said you’d be fine.
Fairy fort / ringfort in GreenvilleFairy fort / ringfort · 926 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Greenville's rath has three banks and three fosses, which is overkill. A mother-in-law designed this place. Bring a jacket; it’s never as warm as I promise you it will be.
IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 1016 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Greenville would tell the interviewer it has strong leadership skills and a green thumb, but mostly just vibes. It’s probably hiding a very important secret about the local soil quality. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Saint Jarlath's SchoolWorkhouse · 1498 ydExplorer Tom Saint Jarlath's School workhouse in Bovinion would order extra vinegar with its chips because it remembers hunger. It housed five hundred inmates, so it’s seen worse than your attitude. It’s free, it’s odd, what more do you want from a building?

Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 4.7 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.

Tower (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Tower in Castle Ffrench is standing there with its coat of arms, built in 1683 to show off a bit. It’s basically a brick letter that never got sent. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of how well it's holding up over the years.
Sweet Chestnut4.8 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.
