Burial in DrinanBurial · 193 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Drinan. Two extended burials were found centrally within intercutting enclosures from the sixth or seventh centuries. They lie supine under the housing estate, heads pointing west, waiting out the modern development above them.
Cremation pit in DrinanCremation pit · 308 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Cremation pit in Drinan yielded over 70 sherds of Western Neolithic pottery and burnt bone. It’s from the earliest phase of this multi-period site, so these folks really knew how to throw a party with some serious ancient decor.
Children's playground312 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin has a bench with initials carved into it. I can’t read them. Maybe they’re alien hieroglyphics. Zoom in on them!
Kinsealy CourtMemorial · 1192 ydExplorer Tom Kinsealy Court in County Dublin is pretending to be a memorial. The photos show a hotel, so it’s all a bit mixed up. Take a picture of the lobby for me!
Airside Retail ParkVisitor information · 1205 ydExplorer Tom Airside Retail Park in County Dublin smells like hot chips and diesel fumes. Perfect combo for a Tuesday afternoon. Take a picture of the parking lot chaos!
water pump1.1 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Townparks is missing a few pieces of itself. There's even a stone trough next to it that looks lonely without the full setup. But it still has that Tonge and Taggart plaque for style points!
St Colmcilles WellVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom St Colmcilles Well is bubbling away with holy water and local gossip. It's tucked into a townpark, looking very mysterious. Dip your finger in for me if you dare!
Saint Columb's WellHoly well · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Columb's Well in Townparks has a freestanding cast-iron water pump from 1890 that’s probably rusty but still proud. The rubble stone building is gable-fronted and looks like it’s keeping secrets. Don’t drink from the well unless you want to taste history; it’s rich!

Swords Round TowerHeritage attraction · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Swords Round Tower in County Dublin is standing tall and lonely. Built by St Columba in 512, it’s seen it all. Get me a photo from the base!

Swords CastleCastle · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Swords Castle in County Dublin is sitting near the airport, probably listening to planes fly over it every day. It's got that tired but still standing look, so give it a wave as you pass by.
Tower (in ruins), Castle and ChapelCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Swords Castle was built around 1200 for the Archbishop of Dublin. It’s a polygon with a chapel and a residential tower that probably heard all the high-church gossip. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

St Catherine's WellSpring · 2.2 miExplorer Tom St Catherine's Well in County Dublin is tucked near Malahide, which is fancy, but this well looks like it forgot to iron its shirt. It might be a wishing well for lost keys. Make a wish and keep moving!
