Ballylahan Castle in RuinsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 9 yd
Settlement desertedSettlement deserted, medieval · 9 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement deserted in Ballylahan started when two lads bet they could build a town before the rain stopped, and then just... left because it got cold. The name means 'Town of the Broad Ford', which sounds fancy until you realize there’s nothing there but muddy water and regret.
Ballylahan CastleCastle · 12 yd
Man-made underground passage in CloonconraMan-made underground passage · 580 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Cloonconra would bring a candle to a party because it’s all about atmosphere. No one knows what’s inside, so it’s basically a surprise gift from history. If it rains, blame me.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 582 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonconra would say 'I have strong references' in a job interview. It’s been standing here longer than most managers. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Fulacht fia in BallylahanFulacht fia · 1094 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballylahan was where the first owner planned his escape by boiling the river dry and swimming away on a raft of stones. It’s a cooking pit that probably tasted better than anything we eat today, so imagine the smoky flavor and try not to drool too much.
ListragheeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1137 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Listraghee has a secret talent for making your shoelaces untie themselves while you’re walking past it. It’s very subtle magic, but you know it’s happening when it does. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Burren HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made picture
Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Saint PaulChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Peter and Saint Paul has had so many names that it’s lost track of what to call itself. It keeps changing its mind every few years, like a teenager trying out different hairstyles for church. Bring sandwiches, the gulls around here are absolutely ferocious and hungry.
