Catholic Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 447 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in Derrigra has been commanding views since 1873. Bishop Delaney laid the foundation stone, so there’s some real spiritual weight here. The Gothic arches are doing their best impression of heaven.
Mount LodgeHouse · 671 ydExplorer Tom Mount Lodge in Derrigra looks small because it’s sitting on a raised basement. Built around 1820 as a villa for leisure, which is fancy talk for 'rich people's holiday home'. It has timber sash windows. Tell the conservatory to keep the sun out.
Castlelands MillMill (water) · 707 ydExplorer Tom Castlelands Mill is a former water mill from 1790 that’s now just a house with a past. It’s part of an old milling complex, and the ruinous remains add to its mystery. It’s a significant reminder of where all our bread came from, really!
Burnt mound in Castlelands (carbery East (w.d.) By.)Burnt mound · 715 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Castlelands By.) is just a spread of burnt stones near a stream, probably waiting for someone to make soup. The drains cut through it like they didn’t even notice it was there. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
WarrensbrookHouse · 861 ydExplorer Tom Warrensbrook house in Curraghcrowley East is an eighteen-century classic with substantial gable chimneystacks. The balanced facade suggests it likes things orderly, unlike my life. Go in good spirits and don't touch the outbuildings!
Burnt mound in Teadies UpperBurnt mound · 947 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Teadies Upper was found while digging for a gas pipeline. Someone dropped a lignite bracelet nearby, so maybe we should send an archaeologist instead of me next time? Or maybe just a shovel.
Ballineen and Enniskean Railway StationRailway station · 959 ydExplorer Tom Ballineen and Enniskean Railway Station is currently under renovation, which means chaos and dust where there used to be trains. It's got that ornate timber bargeboard look that makes it feel important even when empty. Watch out for the scaffolding!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Teadies LowerFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1184 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Teadies Lower is an oval near the river, which means it might get soggy if you look at it too hard. There’s even a man-made passage inside, so go explore or just make up a story about what you found. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Castlelands HouseHouse · 1202 ydExplorer Tom Castlelands House in Castlelands has a secret talent for doing absolutely nothing while looking very important. It’s a rare rural house with round-headed doors and sliding windows that squeak like old hinges. Make up your own legend about why the chimney is so tall!

Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
