Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in OldcastleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 196 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Oldcastle has a limekiln right next door, so it smells like burnt rock and regret. There’s also a possible underground passage, or maybe just a rabbit hole. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Man-made underground passage in OldcastleMan-made underground passage · 196 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Oldcastle was a cave in the ringfort that got closed up. Hartnett mentioned it back in 1939. Find the fort and look for a weird depression that feels like it’s holding its breath.
GallánStanding stone · 594 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Another Gallán in Clonmoyle East has also been removed, leaving absolutely nothing visible where it used to stand. Two stones, two disappearances, one very confused archaeologist trying to find them in the pastures of Mid Cork.
Fulacht fia in OldcastleFulacht fia · 684 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Oldcastle was an oblong pile of blackened stones that locals called a pagan burial ground. It’s gone now, buried under tillage. Imagine dancing around a bonfire where you’re currently standing, then shrug and move on.
Burnt mound in Clonmoyle EastBurnt mound · 1032 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Clonmoyle East is a small spread of shattered stones right next to a spring well, discovered during drainage works. There’s another one thirty meters east, so it’s like they’re having a quiet argument about who’s bigger. If it rains, blame me.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1377 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Derry was levelled in 1979, so it’s basically a flat memory now. Local info says there’s just burnt material left where the mound used to be. Grab a pic for me if you see any dark soil patches!
Luskin BridgeBridge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Luskin Bridge in Clonmoyle East is simple but served a mill race long ago, so it’s got some history under its belt. The shortcut through it isn't a shortcut, it’s just a very slow walk with good views. It's not magic, it's just engineering that took its sweet time to build.
Ballinadihy BridgeBridge · 1.3 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.
Carrignamuck Tower HouseCastle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!
KnocknagreenanMountain / peak · 4.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Knocknagreenan has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Carrigadrohid CastleHeritage attraction · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Carrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!
