Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LisnaconFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 524 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Lisnacon is at the top of a hill, with a scarp topped by a wire fence. It was levelled in the 1950s, so it’s mostly history now. The remaining bank forms part of a field boundary. Very practical fairies!

Fulacht fia in LisnaconFulacht fia · 589 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Lisnacon was levelled to make a slurry pit. Yeah, you read that right. A mound of ancient burnt material, gone, replaced by farm waste. Nature finds a way to recycle, doesn't it?

Coolclogh PresbyteryPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 802 yd

Explorer Tom Coolclogh Presbytery in Dromagh has a Gothic inspired form with pointed arched openings and multiple gables. It’s got stained-glass porch windows that might be judging your soul as you pass by. Spot the olde world charm, but don’t let it spot you sneaking a peek at the church next door.

Saint John's ChurchChurch/chapel · 805 yd

Explorer Tom Saint John's Church in Dromagh is dressed up like a fancy dress party went wrong, but in a good way. Built in 1833 with carved heads and Gothic pinnacles. Get a shot of that steeple for me, it looks cheeky!

Fr John Barry MemorialMonument · 812 yd

Explorer Tom Fr John Barry Memorial in Dromagh is an elaborate monument with carved details so ornate they’re practically screaming for attention. It commemorates a priest who built a church, which is basically a flex on everyone else. Great spot to practice your most solemn face!

Fulacht fia in KnockardrahanFulacht fia · 1025 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Knockardrahan is next to a drained spring and looks like it’s holding its breath. There’s no visible trace, just the memory of burnt material that someone decided was in the way. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug while you wonder what happened here.

Fulacht fia in Killinane (duhallow By., Dromtarriff Par.)Fulacht fia · 1379 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Killinane: A grass-covered spread of burnt stuff sitting next to a well, looking like it forgot how to be interesting. It definitely thinks Dublin tourists are weirdos who can’t tell bog from bread. Have a nosey, politely, before the sheep decide you’re dinner.

Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1395 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Killinane Fulacht Fiadh is cut by a drain, which makes me think it has bad plumbing. If it won the lotto, it’d buy better drainage. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

church/chapel1408 yd

Explorer Tom Church or chapel in Dromagh has carved stone details that look expensive, even if it’s fallen into a bit of a slump. It would bring great conversation to a party, especially if you ask about the encaustic tiles. Go before the crows take over the roof again.

Ardrahan HouseHouse · 1410 yd

Explorer Tom Ardrahan House in Knockardrahan is holding onto its timber door like it’s a golden ticket, though I bet the sash windows are just pretending to work. Why? Because it’s modest but fancy-pants all at once.

Banteer PlaygroundChildren's playground · 3.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Banteer Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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 Kanturk Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
