Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballymongaun,caherbannaghFairy fort / stone ringfort · 529 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballymongaun, Caherbannagh holds a fake world record for longest sit-in silence. It’s been there since before anyone cared about records. Perfect detour when the satnav has a complete meltdown.
Fairy fort / ringfort in MoarhaunFairy fort / ringfort · 612 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Moarhaun wants to complain to the council about its grassy haircut and lack of personality. If it rains, blame me for not bringing an umbrella.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in BallynabinniaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 621 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballynabinnia sits on a slope, pretending to be something more than just a grassy bump. The hedge is doing all the heavy lifting here. If it rains, blame me.
Earthwork in MoarhaunEarthwork · 628 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Moarhaun hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove because everyone was drunk. It’s a D-shaped area that thinks it’s round and proud of it. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll in hand.
Fulacht fia in ShalleeFulacht fia · 695 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Shallee would review its visitors as 'too loud, not enough soup.' It’s a boiling stone that has seen better days and worse tourists. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in MoarhaunFairy fort / stone ringfort · 723 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Moarhaun is sub-triangular because it got into a fight with geometry and lost. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tooreen EastFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 887 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This one in Tooreen East is complaining to the council about its muddy knees again. It's been on a slope for centuries and it's tired of the drama. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Shallee Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1549 ydExplorer Tom Shallee Castle in Shallee is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering bad news about treason and hanged sons. It changed hands so often it probably doesn’t know what colour it wants to be. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1630 ydExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Ballynabinnia is proud of its brass plaque in the porch, which is basically a framed photo of itself. It’s been standing there since 1842, looking better than most people in their thirties. Stick around for the light changing; it’s a show you don’t want to miss.
Bushypark HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Bushypark House was built in 1820 and now acts as a health centre, which is a bit of a vibe shift. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Children's playground4.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This children's playground is a lively place where kids can run, play, and make new friends.
European ash4.6 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
