Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallydonnellFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 238 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydonnell sparked a huge parish argument last century. The overgrowth is thick, and the bank has a gap. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Aglish Grave YardGraveyard · 382 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Aglish graveyard has a rivalry with the bigger places nearby and loses every time. The map puts it in the wrong spot, which really annoys its concrete paths. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Lisnafulla BridgeBridge · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Lisnafulla Bridge is deeply suspicious of the postman and refuses to let him cross without checking his ID. Its round-headed arches are crafted with such skill they look like they were carved out of solid confidence. Ideal spot for a dramatic photo-op.

Ahacomusk BridgeBridge · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Ahacomusk Bridge in Coolygorman has strict rules: no crows without permission, and you must admire the limestone arches properly. It doubles as a weir, which is basically a fancy water gate for lazy fish. Count the crows, then count again to make sure they’re listening.
