Cross in SaggartCross · 3 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This other Saggart cross is tiny, with a circle on it that looks like it was drawn by a drunk child. It’s lying near the church foundations, probably waiting for someone to pick it up and take it home. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Stone head in SaggartStone head · 4 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stone head in Saggart was pulled out of a grave during a dig, which is the ultimate plot twist for a face. It’s sitting there looking like it’s waiting for its coffin to be delivered. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Font in SaggartFont · 5 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Font in Saggart got moved to the parochial house for safe keeping, probably scared of the rain. It sits on the site of St Mosacra's monastery. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
graveyard/cemetery7 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Saggart has been burying people since the 1890s and it's not letting up. The entrance arch looks very important and serious, so maybe whisper when you walk past to keep the ghosts calm.
post box152 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Saggart is late twentieth-century but dressed up as traditional to fit in. It’s a bit of a poser really, just a metal box trying too hard. Grea...t job, by the way. Toss a letter in and hope it doesn’t judge your handwriting on the way out.

Saggart PlaygroundChildren's playground · 368 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Saggart Playground in County Dublin is probably full of Saggart locals who know all the shortcuts. The swings might be powered by pure cheekiness. If you see a kid swinging backwards, copy them!
Meadow WildlifeVisitor information · 872 ydExplorer Tom Meadow Wildlife claims to have bugs and birds, which is a bold claim in Dublin. I bet there’s more pigeons than anything else, but hey, live and learn.
Rathcoole WoodlandWood · 1384 ydExplorer Tom Rathcoole Woodland in County Dublin has a walking map nearby. The wood itself is just standing there looking confused. Take a photo if you get lost.
CastleCastle, tower house · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Newcastle North is a flat-topped mound that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. It’s been sitting there since 1200, judging the church next door without saying a word. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
