Architectural fragment in Glinsk (ballymoe By.)Architectural fragment · 2 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Glinsk is an ogee window sticking out like a sore thumb because it missed the castle party. It does weird stuff when nobody's looking, probably just collecting dust and existential dread. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Glinsk Castle in ruinsHouse, 17th century · 2 yd

Explorer Tom Glinsk Castle in ruins has caught my eye in Glinsk, County Galway. I bet a house, 17th century 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.

Bawn in Glinsk (ballymoe By.)Bawn · 21 yd

Explorer Tom Bawn in Glinsk listens to what goes on inside the walls and probably hears the Burkes arguing about who left the light on in 1630. It’s a well-preserved semi-fortified house that looks like it’s judging your posture, so stand up straight or don’t bother knocking. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Mound in Glinsk (ballymoe By.)Mound · 281 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mound in Glinsk has no idea what it is, so it’s just vibing. The local sheep probably think it’s a very expensive rock to nap on. Go in good boots and better humour.

IndicatedEnclosure · 319 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Glinsk is near a castle and looks like it’s trying to be one but failing. Someone wrote a bad poem about it that rhymed 'bank' with 'trunk.' Pack a picnic and an excuse.

telephone box357 yd

Explorer Tom Telephone box in Glinsk has caught my eye in Glinsk (Ballymoe By), County Galway. I bet a telephone box 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.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballynakill (ballymoe By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 512 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Ballynakill ringfort is on a steep slope and covered in breaches. It looks like it’s been chewed on by goats for centuries without complaint. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Quigothy CottageHouse · 592 yd

Explorer Tom Quigothy Cottage has caught my eye in Ballynakill (Ballymoe By), County Galway. I bet a house 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.

Site of Catholic ChapelChapel · 592 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Site of Catholic Chapel in Glinsk is basically a memory that forgot how to be real. The map called it 'Site of', which is polite code for 'we have no idea what was here'. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Suck Valley WayWalking route · 2.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Suck Valley Way has caught my eye in County Roscommon. I bet a walking route 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.

Hawthorn4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Hawthorn has caught my eye in County Roscommon. I bet a hawthorn 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.

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle has caught my eye in Ballintober, Rosmeen, County Roscommon. I bet a castle, anglo-norman masonry castle 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.
