OutlinedEnclosure · 229 ydOutlined, 125 ft. odMound · 437 yd

Explorer Tom 125 ft. od in Grange Upper is now just a gravel parking lot, so any dance held there definitely went too far and got paved over. The topsoil is gone, leaving nothing but a memory of a circular area that used to be something important. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Ballyclogh MillsMill (water) · 1403 ydBallyclogh HouseHouse · 1419 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyclogh House has an imaginary twin across the sea that is constantly texting it selfies, but they never meet. It’s just standing there looking fancy with its limestone piers, pretending it doesn't miss its sibling. Pretend you're a lost agent on a mission.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1511 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Biddyford is a rectangular barn that thinks it’s fancy. Built right when the Penal Laws collapsed, it’s basically a stone celebration of freedom with very little flair. Look serious, nod slowly, and pretend you understand the architecture.

Jackie PowerMemorial · 1.1 miCastle Troy (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Troy would ask Saint Patrick to bless its foundation stones. It stands on the Shannon bank, having survived since 1197 without breaking a sweat. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Abington has a retirement plan involving just standing there on a ridge and doing absolutely nothing. It sits right next to the river but ignores it completely, which is rude. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
