Aghavrin HouseHouse · 458 yd

Explorer Tom Aghavrin House is so symmetrical it makes me dizzy, with chimneystacks that look like they're trying to punch the sky. If it talked to its younger self, it would say 'stop slouching, we have grandeur to maintain.' Get in there and bow.

Burnt spread in AghavrinBurnt spread · 1028 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Burnt spread in Aghavrin wants its tombstone to say 'Here lies something we saw once and never found again'. It’s very elusive, disappearing when the field is under pasture. Count the crows, then count again, because they’re definitely hiding it from you out of spite.

Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1157 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Rockgrove is a horseshoe-shaped mound of burnt material with its opening facing south. Some of the burnt stuff was actually used to build the adjacent field fence, which feels like recycling ancient history.

GallánStanding stone · 1170 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Gallán in Rockgrove sits on an isolated island in a quarry. It thinks the road leading to it is a total rip-off of its dignity. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Anomalous stone group in DromatimoreAnomalous stone group · 1283 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Dromatimore has three reddish stones, one of which is missing its capstone or dignity. A bishop once refused to visit because it wasn't fancy enough. Bring someone who'll believe anything you say.

Dromatimore HouseHouse · 1421 yd

Explorer Tom Dromatimore House has bowed breakfronts making it look like a cross, which is pretty wild. Built around 1780, it’s unadorned but striking in its own way. Capture that unusual cruciform plan!

Mullinhassig WoodWood · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Mullinhassig Wood has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood 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.

Mullinhassig WaterfallWaterfall · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Mullinhassig Waterfall has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a waterfall 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.

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.

Carrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!

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.

Pedunculate Oak5.0 mi

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.
