Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dunbell BigFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 8 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dunbell Big is heavily overgrown and hides near a deep quarry. A priest lost a bet here and never spoke of it again. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you, but the trees might whisper back if you're loud.

Enclosure in Dunbell BigEnclosure · 84 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Dunbell Big was once taken over by a fox who thought he was the king. The excavation happened ages ago, but the attitude remains. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, even though the audience is just the wind.

Sheastown HouseHouse · 958 yd

Explorer Tom Sheastown House in Sheastown has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because it likes the warmth of the porch. It’s well-maintained, which is rare for a house that’s seen better centuries. Best seen with a hangover so you can appreciate its quiet dignity.

Explorer Tom Church in Sheastown is stuck in a bit of a naming dispute over its patron saint. One book says it’s St. Fiachra from France, but another says that’s just making things up! It’s sitting there looking very dramatic while the historians argue. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom Black Walnut has a massive grudge against the rain for making its nuts soggy every single year. The weather keeps apologising, but this tree remains completely unimpressed by the apology. It’s a perfect detour when your satnav has a meltdown.
