Castle KevinGates/railings/walls · 704 ydExplorer Tom Castle Kevin has entrance walls that look like a castle because they are crenellated. The limestone piers are carved so nicely you’d almost want to touch them, but don't.
Ring-ditch in KilluraghRing-ditch · 706 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ring-ditch in Killuragh is complaining about the council's lack of vision. It's just a small circle, but it has big opinions on its own perimeter. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GrandyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 712 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grandy was levelled in 1979 because apparently it got in the way of something. It ended up in the wrong place, then nowhere. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Enclosure in KilluraghEnclosure · 764 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Enclosure in Killuragh is just a diffuse parch mark suggesting a roughly circular shape. It’s vague and cloudy. Like a ghost that forgot its outline. You have to squint really hard at the aerial photos to see this one.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KilcanwayFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 822 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilcanway is levelled with no surface trace left. It used to be twenty-two meters across, but now it’s just a memory that refuses to show up on the ground.
Fulacht fia in Annakisha SouthFulacht fia · 829 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Annakisha South is an oval spread of burnt material in tillage. 16 metres by 13 metres. So it’s basically a big patch of soot in a field. Don’t step on it, or maybe do. Who cares?
Fulacht fia in KilluraghFulacht fia · 832 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Killuragh is buried in tillage, waiting for a plough to find its burnt secrets. It’s basically a prehistoric potato chip hiding under the soil. Walk past slowly like you’re in a film.
Doneraile ParkDemesne walls/gates/railings · 852 ydExplorer Tom Doneraile Park gates are playing posh with all that cut limestone and scrollwork. They used to lead to a bridge over the river, but now they’re just standing there looking expensive next to Creagh Castle.
Architectural fragment in CastlekevinArchitectural fragment · 853 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Architectural fragment in Castlekevin is a carved stone head stuck in a wall, probably from a castle that’s long gone. It’s basically a statue that got lost and ended up as decoration. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Enclosure in KilcanwayEnclosure · 918 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Kilcanway is a sub-circular area defined by a ditch, which is basically a hole where a wall used to be. The map makers probably got confused and drew it slightly wrong on purpose. Bring someone who'll believe anything about why the shape is so weird.

Mallow Castle RuinRuins · 4.3 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!
