ToberdergHoly well · 128 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Toberderg has a cross carved deep into its stone, which is quite the statement. Legend says it moved roads after a girl washed her clothes in it, because apparently that’s an offence to the saints.

Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 186 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Derryroe is in marshy ground, so it’s basically a swamp throne. It would cope fine on a reality show by just lying down. Bring someone who'll believe anything you say about it.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DerryroeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 801 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derryroe is just a low bank, but I bet the fairies use it for their morning stretch. Pop in a pic for me if you see any wee feet!

Explorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Derryroe has a pile of stones on top like a hat. The dog that's in charge of it probably brought them there. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure, yeah?

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 829 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Shanakill is low and eroded with field clearance stones on top. It’s basically a pile of rocks pretending to be history. Don’t expect much drama here, just some muddy earth and confusion.

Fulacht fia in AughinidaFulacht fia · 859 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Aughinida was dug up by engineers who built an electricity station right next to it. It’s now just a neat little oval of rubble pretending to be ancient. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle, or maybe a very expensive parking lot.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilberrihert (muskerry East By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 951 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilberrihert is basically an oval-shaped secret with a tunnel underneath it. Two families probably fought over who owns the view from inside, but now it’s just grass and mystery. Tell your mates you found it first before they do.

Hanover Hall BridgeBridge · 1271 yd

Explorer Tom Hanover Hall Bridge has cut-stone voussoirs that look like they’ve been polished by time and stubbornness. There’s a hidden message in the stones if you squint really hard. Bring your detective hat!

St John the Baptist Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1551 yd

Explorer Tom St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church in Kilberrihert is keeping it simple and barn-like. Built around 1800, it’s got those pointed arch windows that look like they’re about to sing. It’s pre-Emancipation, so it’s got history. Take a snap of the gallery!

Fairy GardenChildren's playground · 2.5 miComputer-made picture
