Burnt mound in KillakaneBurnt mound · 1159 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Killakane is just a patchy line of stones along an old field boundary, barely visible under the grass. It’s the kind of thing you’d walk right over if you weren’t looking for it. Leave nothing but footprints and a really bad pun about fire.
Fulacht fia in KillakaneFulacht fia · 1227 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Killakane was spotted in a meadow back in 2002, but by 2004 it had vanished into the marshy north. Forestry planting is the greatest cover-up artist I’ve ever met in my whole life.
CistvaenCairn, unclassified · 1640 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cistvaen in Gortnahown sits on a hilltop with big kerb stones, looking like a ring of furniture nobody bought. It has a rivalry with Newgrange because it thinks its rocks are bigger, even though they’re just lying down. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Folacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Folacht Fiadh in Pollardstown hears everything through its walls, which are mostly just dirt pretending to be structure. It’s a big burnt patch that thinks it’s a secret society HQ. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the mud.
Corbett CourtHotel · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Corbett Court in Ballinrush would teach history using its terracotta finials as pointers. It sits on the Mallow to Dublin road, showing off its bay windows. Listen closely!
Presentation ConventGates/railings/walls · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Presentation Convent gates in Brigown are doing their best Gothic Revival impression to scare off the seagulls. The craftsmanship is top-notch, but I think the birds just want snacks. Stand back and admire the detail!

Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.7 miExplorer 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.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.6 miExplorer 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.
