Anomalous stone group in BoherAnomalous stone group · 216 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Boher is two upright stones standing awkwardly apart like they’re waiting for their lines in a play. They’ve been there long enough to know what they are, but they refuse to share. Take a mate and argue about what it was for until you both get tired.

post box221 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Boher has got a P&T emblem on the cast-iron box from around 1930. It’s a reminder of when Ireland changed up its post boxes. The royal cipher is gone now. Look at that display panel, it’s neat!

GallaunsStanding stone · 647 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Gallauns in Lyre is on a slope overlooking Bear Haven. Three stones were once there, now it's just gossip and wind. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Standing stone in Carrig (bear By., Killaconenagh Par.)Standing stone · 675 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Carrig is leaning west, refusing to fall down because it has stubbornness as its main structural support. It’s been there longer than your excuses. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Mass-rock in BankMass-rock · 794 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Bank is a slab surrounded by boulders to stop the sea eating it. It’s sick of being asked if it’s safe to sit on. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ThornhillFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1085 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Thornhill has two banks separated by a shallow fosse, with a disused laneway cutting right through the south half of the interior. It’s a bit chaotic, but that 1.5-metre earth and stone bank is still standing proud.

Explorer Tom Hungry Hill 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.

Explorer Tom Battery in Ardaragh East on Bere Island has four gun emplacements that are definitely ready for a zombie apocalypse. It’s discreet enough to hide from your in-laws if they visit. Wait for the all-clear before you nap.
