post box446 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Newcastle is flaunting King Edward’s crown like it owns the place. Installed back in 1905, this iron beauty is still doing its job. Take a pic of the royal insignia before it gets embarrassed.
Fulacht fia in Dawstown (muskerry East By., Garrycloyne Par.)Fulacht fia · 491 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Dawstown used to be heaps of black burnt stones near a mill, now just a memory in the plough. The poet who fell in the ditch nearby is still writing the sequel. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination until they snap.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 919 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Newcastle is a horseshoe shape facing east, which is very polite. The local bishop refused to visit because he was afraid of the smoke. If it rains, blame me for not checking the weather forecast earlier today.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyfadeen MoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1002 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyfadeen More is visible as a soilmark in aerial photos because of concentrated stones. It’s near Greenfort house, so the fairies might be neighbors with the humans. Watch for the white band.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in NewcastleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1008 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Newcastle’s fairy fort has been levelled down to a low rise, basically just a rumour of a wall. It used to be circular, now it’s just a gentle suggestion of something old. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Fulachta FiadhFulacht fia · 1059 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulachta Fiadh in Newcastle has an imaginary twin across the sea that writes fan mail. It’s just more burnt material right next door, sharing the drain. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about which side of the ditch is cooler.
IndicatedEnclosure · 1208 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Newcastle’s enclosure is so faint on the ground that even the map got confused and drew a broken line. It’s right next to a boiling pit, which makes it feel very underdressed. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CourtbrackFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1396 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cornhill (Fairy fort / earthen ringfort) in County Cork claims to be Dun Tulcha Aird, home of King Finan, though it looks more like a confused sheep pen. Snag a photo for me before the cows decide it's their new bathroom.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyfadeen BegFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1442 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyfadeen Beg has a low grass-covered rise and part of an earthen bank surviving in the fence. It was open on one side by 1937. The fairies must have had a terrible door policy.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnocknabehyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1513 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knocknabehy has a massive entrance and a gap to the north. It looks like it’s waiting for someone big to walk through. Count the crows, then count again, because they’ll definitely have moved by then.
farm house1.2 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Monalahy is classically proportioned and symmetrical, which means it’s probably very strict about how you line your plates up. It moved away from vernacular traditions to be fancy, so act accordingly. Don’t sneeze too loud or it’ll think you’re rude.
