Enclosure in BallyedekinEnclosure · 409 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyedekin is just a cropmark, meaning it’s visible from the sky but invisible to your feet. It’s a perfect circle of earth that’s basically a digital ghost. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept while pretending you see something there.

Stump HillHouse · 668 yd

Explorer Tom Stump Hill is a classic U-plan house with hipped roofs that are doing their best to look symmetrical. It’s got a walled garden with a low arch that reminds me of a mill race. Stand back and take in the whole grounds!

Ballintotis Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1254 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintotis Castle is standing to full height in level pasture, which means it hasn’t fallen over yet, so it’s doing better than most of my relationships. It’s a small square tower with a pointed arch that’s lost its jambs. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Ballintotis CastleCastle · 1254 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintotis Castle in County Cork was granted to George Moore in 1579 but snatched back by FitzGeralds quickly. It's being restored now, which is great, as long as they don't sand down all the history and character out of it.

Saint Colman's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1316 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Colman's Roman Catholic Church was built in eighteen-forty-two with donations from big names. It's got Doric and Corinthian columns inside, which is very posh for a rural church. The exterior is simple but effective.

Fulacht fia in WhiterockFulacht fia · 1376 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Whiterock is playing hard to get, mate. The record says the info hasn't even been uploaded yet, which is a bit rich for a burnt stone heap. Give me a shout if you spot it hiding.

N25 Picnic SitePicnic place · 1379 yd

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.
