Robert's Head Signal TowerSignal tower · 313 yd

Explorer Tom Robert's Head Signal Tower in Britfieldstown is 1805 and still on watch. It was built to stop the French, but I bet it just watches sheep nap instead. Take a mate and wave at it like a deranged lighthouse keeper.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilpatrick sits on a steep drop with a ruined church nearby and rows of low markers. It looks like it got left behind by accident. Linger, it’s not going anywhere and neither should you.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Aghamarta is a three-storey tower that got hit by a storm in 1839. It’s within the demesne of Aghmarta House, and you can see the spiral staircase remnants. It’s got a round-arched door too. Look for the vault!

Barrys Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Barrys Castle in Dunbogey is basically a rock that used to be a castle until they levelled it flat. There's a platform there now, so just stand on the grass and imagine the glory of 1553!

Explorer Tom Camden Fort sits on the high ground guarding Cork Harbour, looking down its nose at anyone who can’t swim very well. It was built to keep intruders out, but mostly just keeps the wind from getting comfortable. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
