St Olans WellHoly well · 17 ydExplorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MountriversFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 261 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mountrivers' ringfort is completely gone, erased by a flour mill that was demolished in 1840. They found two ogham stones when they tore down the mill, which are probably older than the fort itself. Time travel!
Ogham stone in MountriversOgham stone · 261 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ogham stone in Mountrivers, County Cork broke its back before the British Museum got it. Found near a ringfort in 1840, this inscribed slab is now missing a chunk. The inscription reads Maqi-bri... Celi Alaca...
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 409 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Clonmoyle West is a burnt horseshoe hiding next to a well. It’s basically a medieval BBQ pit that forgot to clean up its mess. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse than your tax records.
St Olans CapOgham stone · 496 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St Olans Cap in Coolineagh is an upright stone with a boulder cemented on top like a hat that won't come off. A poet fell in the ditch nearby and blamed the stone for his bad rhymes. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions about the inscription.
Graveyard502 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Coolineagh has a graveslab broken into three pieces, which is just dramatic nonsense for 1794. It’s in occasional use, so maybe bring a tissue for the ghosts. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around properly.
Church (Site of)Church · 520 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in Coolineagh in County Cork is just fragmentary remains of a parish church built in 1838. Not exactly ancient, but still gone now. I bet it had some really boring sermons that people wanted to forget.
Ogham stone in CoolineaghOgham stone · 535 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ogham stone in Coolineagh was pulled out of a church and now sits in a university corridor looking embarrassed. The builder was probably thinking about lunch when he carved that. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and twice as rusty.
Dromatimore HouseHouse · 1.1 miExplorer 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!
Ballinadihy BridgeBridge · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ballinadihy Bridge in Clonmoyle West has two arches that look like they’re judging your life choices from below. The name probably means 'Where You Forgot Your Shoes' if you ask me. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Mullinhassig WaterfallWaterfall · 2.1 miExplorer 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.
Mullinhassig WoodWood · 2.1 miExplorer 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.
