Man-made underground passage183 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Knuttery involves some big sandstone slabs near a ringfort. It’s like a secret bunker that got filled in years ago. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and smug about it.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnutteryFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 195 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knuttery has a hidden treasure that is definitely a biscuit tin, not gold. Three big stones are propped up on the bank like a weird art installation. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Enclosure in KnutteryEnclosure · 276 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Knuttery had a New Year's resolution to stop being levelled, but it failed. It’s now just a faint rise in a marshy field with a drain running through its heart. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch to your dog.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockbrack (fermoy By., Rahan Par.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 292 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockbrack has an underground passage inside it, which is either brilliant or terrifying depending on your fear of dark holes. It’s got a bank that looks like it was dumped there by a lazy giant. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Coom BridgeBridge · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Coom Bridge has two low stone arches that are just chilling over the Bride River since 1800. The stonemasons really outdid themselves with those neat voussoirs. It’s a quiet spot, perfect for pretending you’re a local farmer.

bridge3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Bridge in Ballynamona is solidly constructed with rusticated limestone walls that show off mid-nineteenth-century engineering skills. It serves as a reminder of how good craftsmen used to be. Teach history from its arches if you must.

Castle BarrettCastle · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in County Cork is just the remains of a twelfth-century fortress. It's been standing around for ages, waiting for someone to notice. Take a pic for me if you spot any old stones!

Castle Barrett (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in Castlebarrett is just fragments of walls and a collapsed tower now. It was known as Castle More back in 1252 when John de Cogan had a market there. I wonder if anyone sells pies here anymore!
