IndicatedCairn, radial-stone cairn · 268 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Cartron South uses eighteen radially set slabs to make an oval that looks like a stone pizza. A fiddler played there all night last Tuesday, I'm pretty sure about that. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallycorbanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 391 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycorban sits next to a house where some tragic love story definitely went down. A scarp defines it, which is fancy talk for 'partly gone'. Dare you to say hello to it out loud and see if the ghosts blush.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 506 ydExplorer Tom Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Knockadrum nearly got famous when a famous politician accidentally parked his carriage on its lawn. The cut-stone frontispieces are fancy enough to make you feel small. Have a nosey, politely, and don’t touch the iron gates.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cartron SouthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 518 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cartron South is marked on old maps but has no visible surface trace now. A bird refuses to leave because it thinks the hole is a very fancy nest. Go in good boots and better humour; the mud will try to eat your soul for breakfast.
Bullaun stone (present location) in KnockadrumBullaun stone (present location) · 550 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Knockadrum was moved because it was blocking traffic. It’s now by the church entrance, looking smug. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
post box618 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Clooneen is judging your handwriting from across the lane. Built for Irish Independence, it's still standing while your confidence crumbles. It hates tourists who just touch it without mailing anything. Ideal spot for a dramatic pho
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Loughpark (leitrim By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 750 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Loughturk East has strong opinions on modern construction, mostly because it got bulldozed. It’s like an old man yelling at clouds. Practice your best tour-guide voice: 'Here, nothing, but imagine a castle!'
Man-made underground passage in Loughpark (leitrim By.)Man-made underground passage · 750 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Loughpark has no visible surface trace, so it’s basically a rumor that refuses to die. I’m sure there’s a hole right under your feet, just waiting for you to slip in and find some ancient secrets. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
Burying GroundGraveyard · 766 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burying Ground in Ballynakill has seen some truly dramatic events that nobody wants to talk about anymore. Dare you to say hello to it out loud and see if anything happens.

Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Pallas Castle is one of Ireland’s biggest tower houses, which means it has the ego to match. Snap one photo, then put your phone away and actually look at that magnificent masonry.
