Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KellsFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 248 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kells has a bird that refuses to leave despite having zero personality.

Man-made underground passage in CaherloughMan-made underground passage · 715 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Caherlough also lacks info, so it must be bragging about surviving a storm that flattened everything else nearby.

Ballyporty Castle (in ruins) / TowerCastle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ballyporty Castle was renovated by an American architect, which explains why it looks so aggressively tidy for a ruin. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch, because you're worth it, mate.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Ruan Commons is a 1910 cruciform church that looks like it’s ready to teach a very stern history lesson.

Dromore Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Dromore Castle used to be on an island, which sounds like a very expensive holiday home. Teige built it, probably while arguing about who gets the best chair. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that lasts all night.
