Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 481 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Designed landscape folly in Belmont is having a massive row with the rain about its hairdo. It looks like a hiccup that got stuck in the ground. Find the date carved somewhere, or make one up and feel clever.
Designed landscape feature in BelmontDesigned landscape feature · 906 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Belmont has been in a centuries-old feud with the next village over who planted better nettles. It’s all very dramatic for a bit of earth. Dare you to say hello to it out loud and see if it flinches.
Cruac=an=TeinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1363 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cruac=an=Tein in Lissananny has a secret underground passage, which sounds suspiciously like where they hide the bad news. It’s got very strong opinions on modern buildings. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the whole mystery thing.
Man-made underground passage in LissanannyMan-made underground passage · 1363 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Lissananny is a large grassy hollow with an entrance-like gap in the scarp. It looks like a giant's bathtub that didn't get filled. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in BelmontFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1413 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Belmont has a collapsed drystone wall, which is basically a fashion disaster from centuries ago. It’s on a slope, so watch your step or you’ll look silly. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
MonumentMound · 1532 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Monument in Belmont is basically a grassy hill that thinks it’s a stone structure. It overlooks a bog and looks vaguely confused about its own identity. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
bridge1.6 miExplorer Tom Liskeevy Bridge thinks tourists from Dublin are all talk and no walk, judging by the way it stands there. It’s sat over that old track for ages, just vibing with its own masonry skills. Spot the oldest st
water pump1.6 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Liskeevy would introduce itself as ‘the local celebrity with a thirst quenching side hustle’ if it could talk. It’s got a trough for drinking water, which is fancy for a pump. Get there early before the cows realize how good they are at operating levers.
Children's playground2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.

Fartamore Castle (ruins)Castle · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Fartamore Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle 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.

Fartamore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
European ash5.2 miExplorer Tom European ash has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a european ash 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.
