IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 310 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Teerbeg has conifers planted right inside it, which is rude if you ask me. It’s a stone-faced scarp on a slope, basically a hill that decided to be a bit more structured. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from tourists.
Fulacht fia in Gurteenroe (muskerry West By.)Fulacht fia · 648 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Gurteenroe is basically a flat pancake of burnt soil hiding in the pasture. It’s been levelled so much it’s practically invisible. You’ll need a shovel and a very good excuse to dig!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClonfaddaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 708 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clonfadda has an underground passage and a bank that’s basically a speed bump with history. Its least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who ploughed through it without asking. Have a wander, a wonder, and try not to trip over your own feet.
CodrumCountry house · 718 ydExplorer Tom Codrum in Codrum has been standing since around 1800. It’s a big T-plan house with a walled garden and gate lodge that look like they’re straight out of a period drama. The irregular windows are a bit quirky, but I like 'em.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CodrumFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 721 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Codrum was levelled about ten years ago according to locals. Now there are just low undulations overlooking the Sullane River valley, which is basically a very subtle landscape feature.
Mount CrossHouse · 1318 ydExplorer Tom Mount Cross in Ardnacrushy is a bit of a history lesson with its layers. Built by a corn mill owner and then extended later, it’s got that double-pile layout that makes it look like two houses are holding hands without actually touching.
Fairy GardenChildren's playground · 1.4 miComputer-made picture
Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.
Macroom Urban District Council PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made picture
Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.
Battle of MacroomBattle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.
Sessile Oak1.9 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
