Ritual siteRitual site, holy/saint's stone · 489 yd

Explorer Tom Ritual site in Mullaghroe North is a heart-shaped stone that looks like it’s thinking hard. It marks a grave, so try not to step on its toes. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 1001 yd

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mullaghroe South uses two colors of stone to look fancy. The rusticated masonry is doing some serious heavy lifting visually. Get the side aisle details for me!

water pump1244 yd
