Listed as ‘Enclosure complex’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A possible field system was visible on an Air Corps aerial photograph (V231/65) taken in 1954. On inspection in 1997 this was found to be an area of partially reclaimed rough outcropping rock at the W foot of Abbey Hill. No archaeological features were noted. According to the landowner some paddocks and sheep shelters had been cleared away some years previously. An arc of a possibly medieval enclosure, a small possible hut site and some lazy beds are visible on Ordnance Survey orthophotographs 2013-2018 in an area of rock outcrop surrounded by reclaimed fields.

Man-made underground passage in BehaghMan-made underground passage · 698 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Behagh is hiding under some bushes like it's afraid of the light or the neighbours. Its favourite song is probably 'Underground' by someone, because it lives down there and hates the rain. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you really.

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in BehaghFairy fort / stone ringfort · 712 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Behagh is basically a circle drawn by a very drunk fairy on a hillside. It’s barely there now, just a smudge of history pretending to be a fortress. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Saint Patrick's ChurchHeritage attraction · 925 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Church is a historic landmark in County Clare, where the past meets the present in a quiet, solemn way.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 927 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Dooneen was built in 1938 with a breakfront gabled porch that looks like it’s trying to be grand. It’s got an inscribed foundation stone, which is very proper of it. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Abbey HillMountain / peak · 1217 yd

Explorer Tom Abbey Hill stands tall, a rugged peak with a whisper of old monastic life echoing through the winds that sweep across County Clare.

Ballyvelaghan National SchoolSchool · 1275 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyvelaghan National School was built in 1861 and now it’s a house, which feels like a school that became an adult. It probably posts 'nostalgia' on social media every day. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Muckinish Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 mi
