Catholic Church of the Sacred HeartChurch/chapel · 30 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Darrary is hiding some stunning stained glass windows inside. The arcades are carved nicely to guide your eye, and there’s a standing stone nearby that looks confused. Get a shot of that stone!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DarraryFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 194 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Darrary has trees growing inside, so the fairies are definitely gardening enthusiasts. It slopes down south, which is great for drainage if you’re into that sort of thing. Linger, it’s not going anywhere and neither should you.

Enclosure in DarraryEnclosure · 276 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Darrary is mostly invisible, which is brilliant if you like guessing games. It’s a ghost with no body and a very bad sense of fashion. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse secrets than your ex ever did.

Lios na gCon Ring FortArchaeological place · 308 yd

Explorer Tom Lios na gCon Ring Fort in County Cork is beautifully reconstructed, apparently. It looks too perfect for my taste, like it was built by a committee. Take a photo of that suspiciously neat entrance wall!

Clonakilty Agricultural CollegeLecturer's house · 576 yd

Explorer Tom Clonakilty Agricultural College's lecturer's house is made of corrugated-iron, which sounds cheap until you see that pedimented veranda. It’s a rare domestic use for tin, making it look like a fancy barn. Bring a sense of wonder, because this bird refuses to leave the spotlight!

Ballinoroher CastleCastle · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Ballinoroher Castle in County Cork was built by MacCarthy Reaghs to guard the pass between Bandon and the southwest. Dermot MacCarthy made a grave judgement error here in 1611, probably involving bad bets or worse wine.
