Anomalous stone group in KillaneerAnomalous stone group · 632 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Killaneer was described as big blocks on smaller ones in 1842. Now? No visible trace. It’s basically a rumor. If you see anything, it's definitely worth a quick snapshot for me.
GallaunStanding stone · 662 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallaun in Killaneer is a tall one, standing three point two metres high. It's a rectangular stone aligned NNW-SSE. That's a serious amount of rock just sticking up from the pasture. Bow your head to the giant.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KillaneerFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 813 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killaneer relies entirely on local tradition to exist. No visible surface trace means nothing is actually there! Just a story and some dirt. I’m taking it with a pinch of salt.
IndicatedStanding stone · 823 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Courtleigh is prostrate at the base of a field fence, looking like it gave up on life. It suspects the postman is actually a wizard who cursed it to be flat. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CourtleighFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 900 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Courtleigh has a tiny scarp that looks like it gave up mid-sentence. The locals call the field 'Pairc an leasa', which sounds fancy but probably just means 'where the sheep hang out'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CoolanaghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1018 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolanagh has a gap in the wall that looks suspiciously like an invitation. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard; I bet it knows where the bodies are buried, or at least the lost keys.
St Patrick's Church Of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 1265 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Church Of Ireland Church in Farranthomas was built for £507 and change by Board of First Fruits. Thomas Ware donated the site because he liked the view. Tell me if the tower looks like it’s about to tip over.
Burial in FarranthomasBurial · 1287 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Farranthomas was found in a sand pit way back in 1933, made of large flags. We don’t know exactly where it is now because nobody kept a map. It’s basically a treasure hunt with no prize, mate!
Church of Saint John the BaptistChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Coolanagh is showing off its Gothic Revival muscles from 1872. It’s unusually fancy for a rural spot, with a tall tower and pointed arches that really scream 'look at me'. Get a shot of that spire!

Kilmichael Ambush SiteMonument · 7.7 mi
Kilmichael AmbushAmbush · 7.7 miExplorer Tom Kilmichael Ambush in County Cork is where the rabbits think the soldiers were just having a very aggressive game of hide-and-seek. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
