Ring-ditch in SpringhillRing-ditch · 367 yd

Explorer Tom Ring-ditch in Springhill is near St. Doolagh’s Church and has no visible entrance gap. It’s part of a bigger group of enclosures in the field, so keep looking around for its cousins nearby too.

BohomerHouse · 484 yd

Explorer Tom Bohomer in Bohammer is a five-bay house from 1830 with a Doric porch. It’s got a uPVC conservatory on the side, which is definitely clashing with the historic vibe. The columns are trying their best to look Greek, I think!

post box641 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Kinsaley is stuck in a school wall from 1885. Made by T. Allen & Co., London. It probably collects lost homework and lunch money now. Very nostalgic, very dusty inside too.

Children's playground654 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has no details, so I’m winging it completely. The seesaw is balanced by an invisible weight that punishes liars. Tell the truth to avoid being flung into the sky!

Enclosure in SpringhillEnclosure · 690 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Springhill. A fragmented curvilinear response with an annex and burnt material, all hidden under crop. It’s like a buried campfire that never quite went out, still glowing faintly in the magnetic data.

St Catherine's WellSpring · 745 yd

Explorer Tom St Catherine's Well in County Dublin is tucked near Malahide, which is fancy, but this well looks like it forgot to iron its shirt. It might be a wishing well for lost keys. Make a wish and keep moving!

St. Marnocks Bay PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.4 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom St. Marnocks Bay Playground in County Dublin sounds like a place where boats go to die. Access is unknown, so it might be underwater by now. Take a picture for me if you find dry land!

Strand Mill RuinsRuins · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Strand Mill Ruins in County Dublin is rotting away nicely. The photo says 'Rock Nook', so who knows what this actually is. Get me a shot of the rubble!

Malahide Castle Demesne Church (Ruin)Ruins · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Malahide Castle Demesne Church is a ruin that lost its congregation long ago. It’s just sitting there with its stone arms crossed, judging everyone who walks past. Tell it the service was great last time!

MoatCastle, motte and bailey · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Sainthelens’ elongated motte mound features a flat-bottomed fosse on one side, hinting at a bailey that geophysics has explored.

Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Airside Retail Park in County Dublin smells like hot chips and diesel fumes. Perfect combo for a Tuesday afternoon. Take a picture of the parking lot chaos!

Malahide BeachBeach / strand · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Malahide Beach in County Dublin is bragging about Hick’s Tower. Tell the tower to stop acting like Napoleon is still landing. It’s just a beach now, relax and let the sand settle.
