mausoleum22 ydExplorer Tom Mausoleum in Clonbern is basically a fancy cast-iron box that flew in from Scotland. The local dog has appointed itself manager and barks at anyone who looks too curious. Pretend it's yours and play 'I didn't know it was real' with your mate.
Clonbern ParkOutbuilding · 410 ydExplorer Tom Clonbern Park stableyard does a bit of a jig when nobody is looking, just to keep fit. It’s ruinous but still flexing its oculus like a gym bro. Best enjoyed with a bag of crisps and zero respect for heritage.
Tubber KeeraunHoly well · 632 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tubber Keeraun in Clonbern is a spring under a hawthorn with scattered mossy stones, looking very unbothered. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name because nobody else will bother to ask.
Architectural feature in KippaunaghArchitectural feature · 938 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Architectural feature in Kippaunagh is an old fireplace stone that got moved into a school wall for a career change. It’s been hiding a scandal since 1627. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Derrynabuie HouseHouse · 1137 ydExplorer Tom Derrynabuie House in Cappantruhaun would complain to the council about its render being too perfect, honestly. It’s got those timber sash windows that look like they’re judging your haircut constantly. Have a nosey from the public path, just don't touch anything shiny.
Enclosure in KillavoherEnclosure · 1279 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killavoher has a fan club that meets every Tuesday, but they mostly just argue about the weather. It’s been quarried out so much it looks like it gave up halfway through the day. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CogaulaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1433 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This other Cogaula ringfort is 230 metres away from its sibling, probably to avoid arguments. It’s mostly gone except for one edge, so go at sunset and thank me later for the vibe.
Boundary mound in Clonbern,cloonarkanBoundary mound · 1501 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary mound in Clonbern, Cloonarkan is basically the world's most lazy fence post. It’s been sitting there judging your posture for centuries. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Laughil has had trees uprooted from its interior, which is rough. It probably ended up in the wrong place by accident on a foggy day. Have a nosey, politely.
Comers FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Comers Fort in Killavoher has a tunnel that definitely leads to the nearest pub. The locals claim it’s haunted by thirsty ghosts who never made it home. If it rains, blame me for trusting them.
Moylough CastleCastle · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
Moylough Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle is a hall-house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the 13th century. Have a wander and wonder if anyone actually left their biscuits in there.
