monument890 yd

Explorer Tom Ballydeloughy Monument is an obelisk with crossed rifles and 'Éire' carved in stone from 1945. It’s a nationalist flex on a granite plinth. Tell me it doesn’t look like it’s guarding something important, just the road.

Enclosure in BallydeloughyEnclosure · 1168 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballydeloughy is a cropmark that looks like someone drew a circle with a shaky hand and gave up halfway. It’s truncated by a fence, so it’s basically a croissant instead of a bagel. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face to catch the fairies red-handed.

viaduct1212 yd

Explorer Tom Viaduct in Ballykenly is made of limestone. Built in 1891 over the River Funshion. It’s got rusticated piers and buttresses. Solid engineering from the railway days. Take a pic if you can get close safely!

Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.

Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

St Dominick's WellSpring · 2.3 miGlanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Marshalstown has two church ruins, one older than the other. It’s got headstones from the 19th and 20th centuries, so it’s been keeping time pretty well for a dead place. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
