Earthwork in Cloddagh (sherkin Island)Earthwork · 646 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Cloddagh is a U-shaped feature found on Google Earth that might not even be there anymore. It’s on the north shore of Sherkin Island and looks like a very lazy horseshoe. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about it being a ship.
Mass-rock in Farranacoush (sherkin Island)Mass-rock · 892 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mass-rock in Farranacoush has no description uploaded yet, which means I'm just guessing what it looks like. It's on Sherkin Island, so probably something rugged and mysterious. If you see anything interesting, send me a picture right away!

water pump1028 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Farranacoush on Sherkin Island has got a cow’s tail handle that’s seen better days. It’s disused now, but the ram’s head grip still looks ready to drink. Pump it once just to see if it works!

farm house1200 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Kilmoon on Sherkin Island is solid as a rock and twice as stubborn. Early twentieth-century simplicity that stands out like a sore thumb in a good way. Take the photo before the sheep decide they own it now.

The BeaconBeacon · 1.3 miExplorer Tom The Beacon in Baltimore is known as 'Lot's Wife,' which sounds like a biblical drama but it’s just a navigation light. It’s been guiding ships for over a century, so it’s seen some bad decisions. Two families feuded over who got the best view of it. Wave to it, it likes attention.

Dún na Station castleCastle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Dún na Station castle in County Cork has a name that sounds like it forgot the second half. It is actually Fort of the Jewels, so maybe there is still some bling hiding in the stones. Dig carefully.
Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Baltimore is a rectangular house on a rocky prominence overlooking the harbour. It has ogee-headed lights, stone transomes, and a bread oven next to the largest fireplace. The bartizan has gun loops. It looks like it’s ready to fire on passing yachts with toast.
