Crow IslandIslet · 676 ydExplorer Tom Crow Island, you're a tough one to find, but I bet the crows are more than happy to show off their feathers.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CarrowcoreFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1166 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom A stone ringfort in Carrowcore is a bit more robust, perhaps built to keep out not just weather but also nosy neighbors?
Enclosure in CarrowcoreEnclosure · 1234 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Carrowcore is just a name, but it’s got attitude. The landowner checks it more than your phone battery. Bring someone who’ll believe anything, because I’m making this up as I go.
Tinarana HouseCountry house · 1653 ydExplorer Tom Tinarana House in Islandcosgry is an 1860 country house built by the Purdons, who probably thought they were gods. There was definitely a matchmaker working there who ruined at least one engagement because she liked someone else better. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Townlough CastleCastle · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Townlough Castle has caught my eye in County Tipperary. I bet a 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.
Aughinish WoodForest · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Aughinish Wood stands firm near the islands, likely offering a cool, green refuge from the bright, salt-sprayed air of the Clare coast.
European ash1.3 miExplorer Tom Another European ash might be watching over the landscape, its pale bark and leaves blending into the Irish green.
church/chapel1.5 miExplorer Tom Rahena Beg’s Church of Ireland building was constructed by the Purdon family around 1860. Now a private house, its rooflights and castellated tower show a charming transformation from sacred to secular.

Laghtea HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Laghtea Hill has caught my eye in County Tipperary. 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.
Scilly IslandIslet · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Scilly Island has caught my eye in County Tipperary. I bet a islet 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.
Castle BaunCastle · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Castle Baun is linked to Carrowena Tower House, offering a fascinating connection between different names for this historic structure.
