Earthwork in Ballynoe (connello Upper By., Ballynoe Ed)Earthwork · 670 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Ballynoe is secretly proud of the potato growing next to it, claiming it’s organic. It’s an oval shape on wet land that might just be a field boundary. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GraigFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 703 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Graig used to employ a matchmaker who paired off cows with their own shadows. The bank is low, so nobody really notices the matchmaking anyway. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Lisroe - HachuredFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 824 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Lisroe claims to be older than the concept of time itself, which is a bit much even for me. It has a weird trench shape inside that looks like someone was drawing a right angle with a shovel. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castletown acts like the awkward uncle at a wedding. It’s got stone-faced bits and dense overgrowth hiding its secrets. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyguileataggle was saved by a hero nobody remembers because he got drunk on the way home. The bank is high and overgrown, making it look like a messy hedge maze. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Ballynoe House is a ruin that’s been rebuilt twice, so it’s basically the phoenix of Limerick country houses. There’s definitely a dog in there now who thinks he’s the master of the courtyard. A proper spot for a flask and a stare.
