Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lackabane (muskerry East By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 228 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Lackabane’s first fort is largely destroyed, with a slurry pit built on the site. Progress! Stone-faced bank and trees are gone, replaced by cow juice. Smell the air and take a pic for me, careful now!
Standing stone in Lackabane (muskerry East By.)Standing stone · 283 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Lackabane is gone, leaving nothing but vibes and a very confused sheep. It used to be four feet high, now it's just a memory with a bad attitude. Find the wonkiest bit of grass and send it to your group chat.
St Laghteens Well (Site of)Holy well · 286 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom St Laghteens Well in Knockyrourke moved itself away because someone washed their feet here and offended St Lachtaín. That is a serious reason to relocate, honestly. Have a look at the muddy patch and decide if I was lying about the drama.
Burial ground in Knockyrourke (muskerry East By.)Burial ground · 353 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burial ground in Knockyrourke is known as 'the kill' at a Y-junction, which sounds like where you’d go to avoid your ex. A 1909 description claims it has miniature mounds, but nobody can find them now. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gowlane SouthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 381 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gowlane South has a large slab defining the south side of the entrance, looking very serious about boundaries. It’s secretly proud of the potato that grew there last year. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Man-made underground passage in Gowlane SouthMan-made underground passage · 381 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Hartnett noted a tradition of a 'cave' in the NE quadrant of this ringfort back in 1939. There’s no visible surface trace now, so it’s either very hidden or the locals were just making it up.
Ogham stone in Knockyrourke (muskerry East By.)Ogham stone · 598 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Ogham stone in Knockyrourke has been re-examined and declared not actually Ogham, which is a bit of a letdown for the history nerds. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
monument1071 ydExplorer Tom Monument in Knockyrourke is commemorating three guys from the Civil War with a Celtic cross. It’s got a bit of a somber vibe, so if you’re passing by, give it a respectful nod!
church/chapel1109 ydExplorer Tom Church or chapel in Coollicka is from 1999, which makes it basically brand new compared to the rest. It has glass gables and reuses stained glass from an older church on the same spot. Get a shot of that modern look!
Children's playground1123 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
New TipperaryVisitor information · 1203 ydExplorer Tom New Tipperary has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
UctoughMountain / peak · 1.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Uctough has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
