Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ManningFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 68 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Manning, County Cork has a limestone rubble wall and a three-metre rock face scarp. It's sitting right up there on the hill. Grab your torches, this one looks properly fortified.
Man-made underground passage in ManningMan-made underground passage · 266 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Manning is a depression inside a ringfort that might be a collapsed passage. It’s got a giant legend attached to it where a big man lives under the floor. Bring sandwiches because the gulls will thank you if you share with them.
Kerb circle in CuppageKerb circle · 345 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Kerb circle in Cuppage has been paved over by a concrete yard that does not care about history. It was once fifty feet across, but now you cannot see anything at all. Look under the cement for me!
Enclosure in CuppageEnclosure · 389 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cuppage is a rectangle you can only see if you fly high enough or have very good eyes. The name probably means 'place where the cows got confused' but I’m making that up on the spot. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Stone CircleKerb circle · 469 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Stone Circle in Cuppage is very ruined and looks like a broken semicircle of sandstone blocks. They used it as a dump for field clearance stones around 1970. It is messy but still standing there.
Burial in ManningBurial · 688 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burial in Manning involves a stone coffin found while ploughing. A farmer struck on it and thought he’d found skeletons, which is a bit of a rough way to start your Tuesday morning. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CuppageFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 845 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cuppage was drawn on a map in 1842 but is now just flat grass pretending to be something else. The next village probably argued about who owned it for three hundred years over nothing. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 1368 ydExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
Glanworth BridgeBridge · 1676 ydExplorer Tom Glanworth Bridge spans the River Funshion with limestone arches that are three metres wide. That’s barely enough for a horse and cart, let alone your ego. A prophecy said it would sink in 2050; haven’t seen it yet.
Ballyclogh HouseCountry house · 1700 ydExplorer Tom Ballyclogh House in Ballyclogh is a remnant of a demolished country house. Built as a ballroom in 1904, it has Gothic Revival crenellations. It’s now a private house with Coade stone details. The pinnacles are still there to show off. Admire the facade!
Glanworth CastleCastle · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
Children's playground3.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
