Thomas Osborne DavisMemorial · 241 ydExplorer Tom Thomas Osborne Davis in County Dublin is a memorial that’s probably very serious about its literary legacy. He lived there and wrote stuff, which is great, but I bet he’d be annoyed if you didn’t know who he was first.
Cross in Unknown TownlandCross · 241 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Down in Donnybrook, this Cross is hanging out with a wall fragment, probably planning their next big move or just sharing snacks.

Headstone in Unknown TownlandHeadstone · 246 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Headstone in County Dublin is having a massive drama with the nearest tree over sun rights. It commemorates William Nally who died in 1699, so he’s been napping for ages. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

IndicatedMill, unclassified · 296 ydExplorer Tom Mill is a site of a mill race bordered by the River Dodder, now developed as a bakery. They found a culverted watercourse made of coursed walls, so it’s basically a hidden river tunnel. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting; the bread smell will do the rest.
Bridge in Unknown TownlandBridge · 335 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Dublin used to be a ford at Donnybrook, which is basically a fancy puddle. It would bring its own water to the party and charge admission. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Hybrid poplar619 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Poplar in County Dublin has a dog in charge of it who barks at anyone who doesn’t tip. The poplar just stands there looking confused while the dog runs the show like a tiny overlord. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now if you say so.
Simmonscourt CastleCastle, tower house · 758 ydExplorer Tom Simmonscourt Castle had a gate tower that survived when the rest went to make way for a Victorian residence. Beranger drew it in 1766 looking very proper. Go at sunset and thank me later for the atmosphere.
Saint Broc's WellSpring · 777 ydExplorer Tom Saint Broc's Well in County Dublin claims a saint named Broc lives there now. The plaque says he named the townland, but I think he just liked the vibe. Ask him for a discount on your next pint!
