Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TempleusqueFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 717 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Templeusque was shown on an 1842 map as a 30-metre circle, but now it’s levelled with no visible trace. It’s like a rumour that nobody remembers the details of, except for the old maps and your imagination.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CrushyrireeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 937 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another fairy fort in Crushyriree that’s completely demolished. It’s gone so far I’d need a microscope to spot it. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Bullaun stone in TempleusqueBullaun stone · 1024 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Templeusque is cemented to a plinth like it’s afraid of falling over. It’s basically the rock version of wearing trainers. Tell your mates you found it first.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1024 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Templeusque has chest tombs from the early 1800s and a bullaun stone in the middle. The old parish church is long gone, but this place still feels very active. Don’t touch the sacred stone, trust me on that.
Church (Site of)Church · 1041 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in Templeusque is just a slight rise in the graveyard. Ruined by 1615, now marked as 'site of'. The ground remembers what the stones forgot. Look for a bump and whisper your prayers to it.
Man-made underground passage in SarsfieldscourtMan-made underground passage · 1227 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Sarsfieldscourt was recorded in a ringfort called Liosna Mna Oige, but all three forts are destroyed now. So yeah, good luck finding it. It’s basically a myth with a map pin!
Burnt mound in CrushyrireeBurnt mound · 1276 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Crushyriree is an oval patch with grey soil and red clay streaks. It looks like someone spilled their lunch on the hillside and then tried to scrub it off with a shovel.
Saint Stephen's HospitalWater tower · 1527 ydExplorer Tom Saint Stephen's Hospital water tower is a 1954 concrete hexagon that looks like it fell out of a sci-fi movie. It was part of a TB sanatorium, so don’t cough too loud when you pass by!
Annacarton BridgeBridge · 1569 ydExplorer Tom Annacarton Bridge in Crushyriree has skilled stonework that makes it look like it was carved by a very proud grandfather showing off his tools. It’s got a rivalry with every other bridge on the map, and it’s winning.
Ashton GroveGarden · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ashton Grove has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Toddler Play ParkChildren's playground · 5.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Toddler Play Park has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
