Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LisquinlanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 606 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisquinlan slopes down to the north, so if you slide, you’re going downhill for your career. The bank is over a meter high, which is respectable but not quite Olympic level. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Enclosure in KilcraheenEnclosure · 993 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kilcraheen was levelled in 1963, so it’s basically a ghost with a rectangular body shape. It would describe itself to a stranger as 'former top tier.' Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

IndicatedEarthwork · 1132 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Lisquinlan was once a circular tree-planted area on the lawn of the house. Now it's just a level spot with a shallow ditch around it. Fitzgerald called it a 'liss', so I'm guessing it's something special and mysterious.

Clonmaine HouseHouse · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Clonmaine House has small windows set in a broad wall, which is either minimalist or shy. It retains its heritage fabric, so treat it with respect or it’ll hold a grudge. Stand back and admire the symmetry before it starts judging your posture again.

sign post1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Sign post in Ballydaniel is chatting in both Irish and English, dating back to the early 1940s. The harp motif says it’s serious business, not just a joke. Read the letters out loud for good luck.

Inchiquin Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is a round tower sitting right by the river. It has a wicker-centred dome that’s mostly broken. The windows are splayed out like they’re trying to see everything. Watch out for the drawbar socket; it’s higher than your feet!

Garryvoe Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Garryvoe Castle is hiding under the ivy like a shy kid. It has a wicker-centred vault, which sounds fancy but is basically straw and hope. The door lintel is cracked, so be careful not to let the past fall on your head!

Children's playground3.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's 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.

Pohutukawa8.0 mi

Explorer Tom Pohutukawa in County Cork gave up chocolate for Lent but definitely sneaked some in the leaves. It’s a New Zealand tree pretending it belongs here. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.

Princesstree8.1 mi

Explorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.
