Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CaheravoleyFairy fort / stone ringfort · 401 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caheravoley is part of a field system and looks like it’s been chewed by cows. It’s poorly preserved, which is honest, at least. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography as a famous dancer or pirate.

Explorer Tom Caheravoley Fort has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a archaeological place 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.

Explorer Tom The Enclosure in Kilcahill is so hidden that only aerial photos know it exists, which is very mysterious of it. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice being invisible.

Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 599 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Kilcurrivard is tucked into a ringfort with set stones that look like they’re waiting for a game of croquet. The Vikings definitely got lost looking for this one. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Cloonboo CastleCastle, tower house · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Cloonboo Castle in Ceathrú An Chaisleáin thinks tourists from Dublin are all wind and no substance. It’s covered in ivy, which is just moss with an attitude problem. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun, because that’s the only tribute this ivy-choked tower really needs.

Annaghdown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 6.7 mi

Explorer Tom Annaghdown Castle in County Galway was probably built to suppress a bishopric, which is a fancy way of saying someone got annoyed at another church. It's on the shore of Lough Corrib. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
