Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Belrose LowerFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 145 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Ringfort in Belrose Lower has an underground passage inside it, so the fairies can get really lost down there. The rest is levelled into farmland, making it look like a lazy hill that gave up on being a castle. Weird!
Fulacht fia in Belrose LowerFulacht fia · 172 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Belrose Lower is an oval mound of burnt stuff on a slope that’s got a water-logged dip at one end. If it won the lotto, I bet it’d buy a very large hat and ignore everyone else. Bring someone who'll believe anything you say about it.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Belrose UpperFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 646 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Ringfort in Belrose Upper has a blocked entrance and cultivation ridges crossing the middle. Someone farmed right through it! It’s got two ditches and looks like a messy puzzle box waiting for someone to solve it properly.
Man-made underground passage in Kilnacranagh WestMan-made underground passage · 772 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Kilnacranagh West was found by a sand quarry and then destroyed. Two chambers connected by a crawl space, gone forever. That’s what you get for digging too deep without asking nicely!
GallaunStanding stone · 817 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Gallaun in Clonomara was ripped out around 1950, leaving no trace behind in the pasture now. It’s a classic case of 'out of sight, out of mind,' so just enjoy the open space where it used to be.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LaravooltaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1037 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Laravoolta has gaps in its bank, so the wind gets in and complains all day long. It boasts about surviving storms, but honestly, it looks more like it's just letting them through for fun. If it rains, blame me.
Man-made underground passage in LaravooltaMan-made underground passage · 1037 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Laravoolta would teach history if it had to, but it’s too busy hiding. No visible trace means maximum imagination points. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
Castlelands HouseHouse · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Castlelands House in Castlelands has a secret talent for doing absolutely nothing while looking very important. It’s a rare rural house with round-headed doors and sliding windows that squeak like old hinges. Make up your own legend about why the chimney is so tall!
Castlelands MillMill (water) · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Castlelands Mill is a former water mill from 1790 that’s now just a house with a past. It’s part of an old milling complex, and the ruinous remains add to its mystery. It’s a significant reminder of where all our bread came from, really!
Clearagh HillMountain / peak · 4.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Clearagh Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
