church/chapel1314 yd

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Coollicka is from 1999, which makes it basically brand new compared to the rest. It has glass gables and reuses stained glass from an older church on the same spot. Get a shot of that modern look!

Explorer Tom Monument in Knockyrourke is commemorating three guys from the Civil War with a Celtic cross. It’s got a bit of a somber vibe, so if you’re passing by, give it a respectful nod!

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!

Explorer Tom Lisheentoortagh is called 'Little fort of the Royal Palace' by Bowman, which is a bit grand for a ringfort. It has a proper entrance and trees planted outside. It’s trying very hard to be important.
