Set back from road within own grounds.

farm house52 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Garranenagappul is built from local fieldstone, meaning every rock has been kicked by a farmer for centuries. It looks like it’s holding its breath to stay hidden among the hills. The secret it would tell after a few pints? It hates the rain. Really hates it.

Garranenagappul BridgeBridge · 202 yd

Explorer Tom Garranenagappul Bridge spans the Foherish, covering its rubble core with rendered paint because it’s shy about its own bones. It’s essential road infrastructure, or so it thinks. Visit, then text me when you’ve crossed it!

St Abina's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 217 yd

Explorer Tom St Abina's Roman Catholic Church in Garranenagappul is rocking with its barn-style charm from 1877. It replaced an older church from the 1840s, so it’s got some history to hide behind those simple walls. Those carved roof trusses inside are a secret treasure you probably won't see from outside.

Altar in GarranenagappulAltar · 218 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Altar in Garranenagappul is built into a wall behind a church, wearing a Greek cross like a necklace. It’s got an inscription that says 'Altar Stone', which feels a bit on-the-nose for a religious object. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about the vibe.

sign post292 yd

Explorer Tom Sign post in Caherkeegane has been marking its spot since 1940 with bilingual pride. The harp is there to keep the spirits high and the history straight. Check the spelling, it’s probably perfect anyway.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Garranenagappul has a limekiln built right into its bank, which is weird but cool. The stone facing looks solid, so I bet it kept the fairies warm in winter. Check out that quirky architecture!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallymacorcoranFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 891 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballymacorcoran has cultivation ridges crossing through it, looking like someone played a very aggressive game of darts with a plough. The hidden treasure is definitely just a rusty biscuit tin from 1974. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1341 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Garranenagappul is a kidney-shaped mound of burnt material, basically ancient camping gear that got lost. It’s sitting in pasture looking very confused about its own existence. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

GallánStanding stone · 1351 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Gallán in Ardnacrushy is a solid stone standing in level pasture, looking very serious about its job. It’s not on old maps, so it’s been keeping secrets for centuries. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Standing stone in CaherkeeganeStanding stone · 1405 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Caherkeegane used to be two stones, one leaning and one lying down, but now there’s no visible surface trace left. A goat once ruled this place, or so the legend goes, because why not? Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.

Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!
