Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CaherbroderFairy fort / stone ringfort · 408 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caherbroder is poorly preserved with several breaches in the wall, which is either vandalism or a very bad case of ancient acne. It’s fifty-three metres across and covered in field-clearance rubble at the south-west, so expect a bit of a bumpy ride for your imagination. If it rains, blame me.

Explorer Tom Lough Cutra Castle gates have crossed arrows and castellations that make them look like they’re ready for a duel. A cow once tried to buy it with a carrot, which was bold but short-sighted. Make a wish, it’s had centuries to get bored of listening.

Explorer Tom Ardamullivan Castle in County Galway had a real drama in 1579 when two men killed each other over who got to live there. Dermot 'The Swarthy' won by default, I guess. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.
