The font from the graveyard of Timoole (ME032-013001-) was moved to the Roman Catholic church at Kentstown (ME032-005----), c. 5km to the W, shortly after the Catholic church was built (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 346-7). The limestone octagonal font (ext. dim. 0.64m; H 0.46m) with chamfered under-panels and a circular flat-bottomed basin (int. diam. 0.48m; D 0.24m) is now resting on an octagonal sandstone base (ext. dim. c. 0.5m; H 0.27m). The English inscription in roman letters running on all the sides below the rim reads: THIS / FANT / STONE WAS / BWYLDE / D BY ROBA / RE HOLI /WOD AN / DNI. 1597 / HE BEYN / GE RROCT /OR.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Timoole has a church that’s basically just foundations hiding in the bushes. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud, but they’re too busy taking selfies to notice. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 1073 ydAthcarne CrossWayside cross · 1276 ydAthcarne CastleCastle, tower house · 1573 yd

Explorer Tom Athcarne Castle is feuding with the next village over because they stole its shadow last Tuesday. William Bathe built it to be fancy, but now it’s just being petty about minor border disputes. Bring someone who'll believe anything, like me.

Stone LodgeRic barracks · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Stone Lodge in Balrath is locked in a bitter feud with the rain, and losing badly. It stands next to a post office that looks just as confused about its Tudor Gothic roots. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

European Beech2.0 miPuddenhillHeritage attraction · 2.6 miEuropean ash2.8 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Meath makes map makers look like amateurs because nobody can seem to find the right path to it. It’s basically hiding from its own fame. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Explorer Tom Newtown Hill is visible from Fort Pnd Hill and looks like a standard peak. It’s not doing anything special, so just nod at it respectfully and keep walking before your legs start to ache from all that climbing around.
