Church in ruinsChurch · 16 ydExplorer Tom The cow at Pollacorragune tried to buy this ruined church but couldn't afford the interest rates. Now it just grazes the broken walls like they're furniture. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 35 ydExplorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
Saint Benin's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 68 ydExplorer Tom Saint Benin's Church in Tonlegee hears seagulls gossiping about its red sanctuary and thinks they’re wrong. It keeps the old limestone stoup clean because it likes to show off. Look up; the best bit is always hidden.

St. Benans WellHoly well · 121 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Benans Well had its party shut down because the priest smelled paganism, which is technically correct. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to check on the vibes.
Leacht BenanCairn, unclassified · 164 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Leacht Benan in Pollacorragune is basically St Benan's final nap. It’s a long, skinny pile of rocks that claims royal status. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
CrossCross, High cross · 419 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Cross in Corralea West is sitting there doing nothing, which is its whole personality. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place; nobody is checking your ID anyway.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in PollacorraguneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 490 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Pollacorragune rath has no visible trace except a barely perceptible rise. Basically, it’s a ghost wearing a hat and refusing to acknowledge you exist. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tonlegee (dunmore By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 686 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Tonlegee is on a slope and looks like it's sliding off the hill. A field wall cuts right through it, which feels rude to an ancient rath. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Fartamore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
