Explorer Tom Enclosure in Corraneena is subcircular in marshy grassland with a low scarp. A CBG lies within the interior, which adds to the mystery of this place. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Killaghbeg HouseHouse · 1191 ydEnclosure in Ballinderry (kilconnell By.)Enclosure · 1399 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballinderry sits on a gentle slope where the Vikings definitely got lost looking for it, probably because they were too busy eating porridge. It’s marked as a thirty-five-metre circle, but right now it’s just a very confident patch of grass pretending to be history. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Killure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Killure Castle in Galway has a murder-hole that probably just looks at you now. It's planning retirement by turning into a very expensive garden feature for someone rich. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
