Dún an MhistealachFortification · 1 ydExplorer Tom Dún an Mhistealach in Spike Island, County Cork is a six-bastioned star fort that looks like it’s trying to pierce the sky. Built around seventeen ninety by Vallancey, it’s got dry ditches and blocked doors that look suspiciously like they’re hiding something. Peek through the casements!
Westmoreland FortFortification · 107 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Westmoreland Fort takes up half of Spike Island because it’s got no sense of personal space. It was built in the 1700s and still hasn’t finished showing off. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice at being grand.
Spike IslandIslet · 114 ydExplorer Tom Spike Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.
officer's house325 ydExplorer Tom Officer's house in Spike Island is throwing a red brick tantrum. It’s got limestone dressing like it just stepped out of a very fancy Victorian wardrobe. Bring a flask, because I bet the officer inside is still polishing his boots.
barracks374 ydExplorer Tom The barracks on Spike Island is simple and functional, which means it’s probably still hiding a secret message in the walls. There’s even a chapel there for the soldiers to pray to when things went south. Go on, find the hidden note!
Burial ground in Spike IslandBurial ground · 441 ydExplorer Tom Burial ground in Spike Island has no account uploaded yet because they are still processing it. The island looks pretty isolated from up here. It’s like a secret spot waiting for someone brave enough to walk its paths. Watch out for the tides!

HaulbowlineIslet · 1545 ydExplorer Tom Haulbowline has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.
