The RathFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 496 ydExplorer Tom The Rath has a waterlogged fosse that looks like it’s been crying since the eighteenth century. The map makers got it wrong twice, so who are we to argue? Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Aillwee Cave Visitor CentreHeritage centre/interpretative centre · 969 ydExplorer Tom Aillwee Cave Visitor Centre in Ballycahill is all about that two-storey rubble stone vibe from 1979. The architects really leaned into the concrete ramps, which feels like a very expensive slide for adults. Bring someone who’ll believe anything.
