Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore (duhallow By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 127 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromore sits right next to a housing estate, so the neighbours probably complain about the vibes at night. The rabbits inside have formed a union and are demanding better ventilation in those underground passages. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Man-made underground passage in Dromore (duhallow By.)Man-made underground passage · 127 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Dromore is recorded by Bowman as something that 'could easily be opened', yet has no visible trace. It’s sick of being asked if it smells like old socks or ancient secrets. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DrommahaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 286 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Drommahane is levelled but has a shallow depression outside. Bowman recorded it in 1934 as a proper fort. Now it’s just a low rise and a cropmark. Time is a cruel editor of landscapes, isn’t it?
Nazareth HouseLaundry · 602 ydExplorer Tom Nazareth House in Dromore was a laundry for a hospital, where they probably washed out all the drama from the sheets. It’s got a roof lantern that looks like it’s waiting for a fairy to move in. End this with a wink at the windows, yeah?
Man-made underground passage in DrommahaneMan-made underground passage · 722 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Drommahane was found in August 1978, but now we know nothing! No details, no location. It’s a ghost story without the spooky part. Just walk around and hope it shows up!
Fulacht fia in Dromore (duhallow By.)Fulacht fia · 1047 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Dromore is a low mound in wet ground. Twenty-three metres long, barely thirty centimetres high. It’s part of a group of three. It looks like a giant pancake that got rained on. Yum!
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1100 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Dromore is a twenty-metre diameter mound with a bank and fosse. It was planted with trees on the 1842 map! Now it’s just overgrown wet ground. The trees are probably still rotting underneath.
Clyda Bridge (Upper)Bridge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Clyda Bridge (Upper) has round arches and a bend in the road that make it look like it’s dancing. The dressed voussoirs contrast with the rubble stone walls in a way that’s just plain fancy. Tell the tree it’s not jealous!

Dromaneen Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Dromaneen Castle sits atop a cliff edge overlooking the Blackwater River. It was an O'Callaghan fortified house built on an earlier castle site. The MacDonagh MacCarthys were the overlords, which sounds like a very dramatic family reunion gone wrong.
Mallow Castle RuinRuins · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Mallow Castle Ruin in County Cork has been demolished by time and bad luck. The photo says it was a castle, but now it’s just rubble and regret. Take a picture for me if you pass!
