Explorer Tom Lisnabrone in Teermena would rate its visitors one star for not bringing enough mud to cover its scarps properly. It’s got a ramp for easy access, so don’t make excuses about the slope or your bad knees. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Teermena is strictly under the management of a very serious local dog who thinks it owns the place. The cattle just waddle through the gap because they don't read the rules or care. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Moanleanna House in Moanleanna suspects the postman is a spy for the Crown. Con Colbert was born here, so the walls are thick with history and suspicion. Go now, before it gets famous for being weird.
