Explorer Tom Burial Ground in Kishkeam Lower is still in use with headstones from the 1940s, right next to where an old church used to be. A concrete wall keeps it tidy. Go at sunset and thank me later for the vibe.

Explorer Tom Knockeenacurrig West has a fulacht fiadh with no exact location, which is very annoying. I’d call that a shortcut that isn’t one. Make up your own legend and I’ll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Kishkeam Lower is for unbaptised children, but nobody knows where exactly. P. Casey's land? That's a very vague address for such a sensitive spot. It feels like a ghost with no face.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kishkeam Lower is hiding in plain sight on Connie Murphy's land. It probably knows secrets it'd only tell after a few pints, so go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Kiskeam BridgeBridge · 976 yd

Explorer Tom Kiskeam Bridge has three arches that look like they’re about to yawn over the river. Built in 1820 by craftsmen who clearly knew what they were doing with stone. Mind your step on those cutwaters!

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Knockavoreen is on J. O'Riordan's land. The fiddler played there all night until the cows got confused. Count the crows, then count again, they’re definitely judging you.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Knockavoreen is playing hide-and-seek with Mrs Twomey’s land. Bowman says it was huge, but nobody knows where it is now. Give me a shout if you find it!

Explorer Tom In a field called 'pairc a leasa' in Knockeenacurrig East, this fulacht fiadh is lost to time. Bowman recorded it, but now? Now it’s just a story told by someone who might have been exaggerating slightly.

BarrowBarrow, ring-barrow · 1493 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Barrow in Kishkeam Upper is a shallow ring of earth with a tiny ditch, barely a bump on the hillside. It thinks the road leading to it is rude. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Knockyrourke is in boggy ground with a wide opening. It looks like it’s sinking into the earth slowly. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the mud.

Explorer Tom Doon Bridge is solid concrete that thinks it’s better than all the old stone bridges. The seagulls say it looks like a giant slab of toast. Tell it to stop flexing its engineering muscles, will you?

Explorer Tom Foilard has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
