Explorer Tom Creggankeel Fort on Inis Oírr was nearly sold for a horse in a very bad bet. The wall is two and a half meters high, which is impressive if you’re a gnome. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

St. Cavans ChurchChurch · 1318 yd

Explorer Tom St. Cavans Church on Inis Oírr ended up in the wrong place because someone misread the map badly. It has a sacristy that looks like an afterthought, but it’s still standing firm. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

signal tower1457 yd

Explorer Tom Signal tower in Inisheer has a superstition that locals swear by if you wave at it wrong. It’s dressed limestone and all business about French invasions from way back. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Caisleán Uí BhriainCastle · 1483 ydFurmina Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1485 yd

Explorer Tom Furmina Castle in Inis Oírr is a hall-house that's seen better centuries. It's basically a giant box where people used to argue about land rights. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to complaints.

IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1497 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Inis Oírr is Dún Formna, and it’s been restored so much it looks like a fancy day spa. I bet the fairies just moved out because the Wi-Fi was terrible. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
