farmyard complex704 ydExplorer Tom Farmyard complex in Dermotstown is three derelict buildings from 1750 that are basically just waiting for a make-over. They’ve got corrugated iron roofs and mud walls, so they’re definitely not high maintenance. Give them a wave!
Fulacht fia in KnockFulacht fia · 888 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Knock is a dense concentration of firing material. A U-shaped trough lies north of the main spread near a water source. It’s a prehistoric sauna that got ploughed out, so bring a towel just in case!
Enclosure in Haystown (balrothery East By., Balscaddan Ed)Enclosure · 1133 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Haystown is hiding as a crop mark, which is peak lazy architecture for a monument. It’s basically a circle drawn in dirt by someone who didn’t want to lift a hammer. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, because if you can’t see the enclosure, your sad face will do the talking.
Wavin LakesNature reserve · 1195 ydExplorer Tom Wavin Lakes in County Dublin looks like a golf club hole. Hollywood Lakes vibes. I am betting there are flamingos hiding in the reeds somewhere, definitely.
Children's playground1709 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin where the sandbox is actually a portal to another dimension. A child disappeared there last week and came back with a new hat. Weird, right?
Inch HouseHouse · 1726 ydExplorer Tom Inch House is a five-bay 1785 mansion with wings and a porch that’s been standing firm for centuries. It has round-headed windows and limestone steps, giving it that grand old estate vibe. The farmyard to the rear adds to the rustic charm.
Balrothery TowerCastle · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Balrothery Tower in County Dublin is playing hard to get, mate. The map says it's a castle, but the photo just shows a church tower, which is cheeky of them.
Balrothery Heritage CentreMuseum · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Balrothery Heritage Centre in County Dublin is all about local history, so dig around for some old stories and pretend you’ve read the whole county archive on your phone.
Castle (remains of)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Stephenstown Castle is just foundations now, sitting in the pasture like it’s waiting for its hair to grow back. Saint Patrick would’ve said it needs more faith and less mud. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Flat cemetery in DarcystownFlat cemetery · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Darcystown is playing hard to get behind the housing. Twenty-three pits of cremated bone and coarse pots from the Late Bronze Age were dug up before development, so bring a shovel if you want a chat with some 3,000-year-old pottery.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
