On N side of graveyard (CO043-01401-), stone-lined well (L c. 0.9m; Wth c. 0.65m; D c. 1.1m) approached by two stone steps, well set into ground; still in use. Overlooking it on S side white metal cross and modern holy statue of Mary in wooden shelter. Collections of quartz pebbles lie about.

BullánStoup (present location) · 26 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bullán in Doonpeter is a stoup that was once a footbridge over the river. That's some serious multitasking! It also has a story about a woman forced to restore it by an unseen hand. Creepy stuff, mate.

IndicatedEnclosure · 370 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Doonpeter shows up on an old map but has no visible surface trace now. It’s basically a ghost town of dirt. If you find nothing, just blame the sheep or the fog, I don’t care which.

Coom BridgeBridge · 1245 yd

Explorer Tom Coom Bridge has two low stone arches that are just chilling over the Bride River since 1800. The stonemasons really outdid themselves with those neat voussoirs. It’s a quiet spot, perfect for pretending you’re a local farmer.

mill (water)1760 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Glenville was run by Hudson-Kinahans and is now ruinous but still big on form and scale. The whole parish argued for weeks about who owned the mill race, and nobody won the argument.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Glenville handles a nosey neighbour by pretending it’s just a pretty patch of grass with some interesting rocks, which is a classic deflection move. It’s got that shy personality where it wants to be seen but doesn’t want to commit to the spotlight. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killuntin North is just a circular outline on an old map, which means it’s basically a rumour with a fence. A man who saw the old graveyard described it as surrounded by an earthen fence, so he might have been hallucinating or just very imaginative. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballynabortagh, County Cork has no trace, just pasture and mystery. I think the wind keeps picking on it because it’s jealous of how quiet it is. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to find something that isn’t really there.
