Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 591 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Lackaduv is buried under so much scrub it’s basically a secret. I bet it hears the cows gossiping about the farmer. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
GallánStanding stone · 947 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Lackaduv is standing in a field fence, looking utterly unimpressed by the whole situation. It's nearly two meters high and has been there since before your great-grandparents existed. Tell the kids it's a castle; close enough.
Burial ground in KnockraheenBurial ground · 1036 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Knockraheen has low stones set into the dirt, looking like teeth that gave up on biting. Locals say it's just part of a bigger stone complex, but I suspect it's just shy. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
GalláinStanding stone, pair · 1041 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockraheen's Galláin pair are out on the moorland plateau, watching the river valley with intense boredom. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap before you freeze your backside off.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 1061 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Knockraheen has strong opinions on modern buildings, mostly that they’re too tall and not round enough. It’s sitting in a reclaimed meadow, minding its own business while the scrub grows over it. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Cois Labhra markerOld boundary stone · 1145 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cois Labhra marker in County Cork is an old boundary stone, so it’s basically a fence post for history. It’s saying ‘stop here’ but nobody listens anymore. Touch it gently.
Stone CircleStone circle, five-stone · 1162 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stone Circle in Knockraheen is a five-stone ring that's actually complete, which is rare these days. It's sitting on a small plateau overlooking the river. A perfect little circle to sit and think about things.
Edmond WalshHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Edmond Walsh in Carriganimmy is still doing double duty as shop and pub. I bet the owner drinks the stock before selling it. Wave hello to the guy who never clocks out.
St John the Baptist Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.7 miExplorer Tom St John the Baptist Church in Carriganimmy is modest but has stained glass that’ll blow your mind. It’s been renovated, so it’s fresher than your morning coffee. Imagine a village feud over the colour of the doors.
MusherabegMountain / peak · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Musherabeg 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.
BallyvouskillMountain / peak · 4.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyvouskill 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.
Kilmeedy CastleCastle, tower house · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Kilmeedy Castle has had its fancy bits stolen by a grumpy farmer who thought he was helping out. It’s a five-storey tower that lost its windows in a fit of pique. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.
