IndicatedStanding stone · 64 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Knockshanawee was an irregular boulder that got removed for being too weird. It was thirty-six inches high, which is about your height if you're a toddler. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, even though it's dust now.

Fulachta FianFulacht fia · 391 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another Fulachta Fian in Knockshanawee is just a spread of ash pretending to be mysterious. It’s the quiet sibling that nobody invites to parties. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so you don’t lose your mind looking at dirt.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockshanaweeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 669 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockshanawee has a tunnel that goes straight to the pub, if you believe the rumours. It's covered in furze bushes like a shaggy beard. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about lost keys.

KnockshanaweeMountain / peak · 701 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Knockshanawee 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.

Burnt mound in Farnanes (muskerry East By.)Burnt mound · 707 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Burnt mound in Farnanes is practically invisible because it’s surrounded by dense ferns and bushes. It’s basically playing hide-and-seek with anyone trying to find it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about the thorns, mate.

Rye Court BridgeBridge · 1157 yd

Explorer Tom Rye Court Bridge in Ryecourt is overgrown now, sitting next to a ruined country house like an abandoned uncle at Christmas. It was built by the Rye family, who probably thought they were kings. Ask the weeds if they know where the gate lodge went or if it just died of embarrassment.

Ryecourt HouseGates/railings/walls · 1243 yd

Explorer Tom Ryecourt House gates in Ryecourt are showing off their acanthus motifs. Erected around 1800, these limestone piers are basically screaming 'look at me'. The craftsmanship is top-notch, I’ll give you that. Snap those wrought-iron doors for the album.

Pedunculate Oak1391 yd

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Castlemore CastleCastle · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemore Castle in County Cork is just a name on a map and a picture file. No details, no drama. Be cheeky and take a photo for me if you can find anything more than the words 'Castle More' in your head.

Clodah CastleCastle · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle in County Cork is just another name on my list. It's recorded as a castle, which is helpful but not much. Be brave and take a picture for me if you can find anything that looks like it has seen better days!

Children's playground2.6 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
