Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 386 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Curraleigh’s fulacht fia is on the west side of a stream, with burnt material spreading out like spilled tea. It definitely ended up in the wrong place; it looks like it wandered over from somewhere drier. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if they believe you.
Fulacht fia in ArdrumFulacht fia · 644 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ardrum is basically a giant campfire that got embarrassed by its own smoke and hid under a tarp. It’s just burnt dirt pretending to be history, so grab a biscuit, toast it with a cup of tea, and move on before the cows judge your posture.
Saint Senan's ChurchChurch/chapel · 647 ydExplorer Tom Saint Senan's Church in Carrigyknaveen was built in 1819 with a loan from the Board of First Fruits. It’s a Gothic Revival church with decorative timber tracery. Look for those stained glass windows and tell me they’re still glowing!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraleigh (muskerry East By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 857 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraleigh is just a low grassy rise that the locals swear was a ringfort. It’s basically a hill bump with a history lesson attached. Give it a gentle pat on your way past!
The CottageSchool · 878 ydExplorer Tom The Cottage in Carrigyknaveen was a school, post office, and RIC barracks. It thinks tourists from Dublin are noisy and don’t know how to spell 'Carrigyknaveen.' Watch out for its historical grumpiness as you pass!
The PresbyteryHouse · 879 ydExplorer Tom The Presbytery in Carrigyknaveen is big and imposing, showing off its late 19th-century church wealth. It’s got unusual sash windows that look like they’re trying to be mysterious. Twist it by asking if the Vikings finally found what they were looking for there.
Carrignaveen HouseHouse · 891 ydExplorer Tom Carrignaveen House is sick of being asked if it’s haunted. It’s just a symmetrical, handsome house with nice sills and a decorative door surround. Set back from the road, it’s too polite to tell you it finds your questions tedious and repetitive.
Children's playground1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.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.
West Village PlaygroundChildren's playground · 2.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom West Village 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.
Ballincollig CastleCastle · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Ballincollig Castle in County Cork has a monogram with a 'W' and the date 1857 above the entrance. That's a specific little detail that feels like a signature from a very proud, nineteenth-century owner who liked their branding.
Ballincollig Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 3.2 miExplorer Tom The Bawn of Ballincollig Castle has a big gap in the east wall. It runs around the edge of the rocky outcrop with rounded corners. There’s a tower inside the corner that matches the bawn wall nicely.
Kilcrea CastleWood · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Kilcrea Castle 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.
