Aughnanure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 23 yd

Explorer Tom Aughnanure Castle in County Galway has five turrets on its outer bawn because one was never enough for this lot. It's right by Lough Corrib, so bring wet socks. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Ecclesiastical enclosure in LaghtgannonEcclesiastical enclosure · 1199 yd

Explorer Tom Laghtgannon’s ecclesiastical enclosure is D-shaped and sits right next to the road where they used to build things. It’s got a church inside, which makes it feel very official and slightly judgmental. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Annaghkeen Castle in County Galway is sitting on the shore like it owns the whole bay. A Burke held it back in 1574, but I bet he just wanted a spot for his boat. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom Court tomb in Carrownakib is very ruined and has strong opinions on modern buildings. It’s just stones near Lough Corrib now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a fancy oil painting.
