Children's burial ground in CappavehaChildren's burial ground · 208 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Cappaveha lost its surface trace while someone was levelling the bank for no reason. It’s got an unlikely celebrity friend: the local council, probably. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CappavehaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 208 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cappaveha has a stony mound inside that might be a cave. Or a very confused rock. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Killagh BegFairy fort / ringfort · 431 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Killagh More has a possible underground passage that I am certain is a secret exit to the afterlife. Or maybe just a very deep hole. Who knows? Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Man-made underground passage in Killagh BegMan-made underground passage · 431 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This man-made underground passage in Killagh Beg gave up meat for Lent but kept the secrets. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Children's burial ground in CorraneenaChildren's burial ground · 437 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Corraneena is in the west half of an enclosure, which sounds like a very specific postcode. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, you basically do.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Ballinderry (kilconnell By.)Fairy fort / ringfort · 630 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Ballinderry fairy fort sits on a hillock, boasting double banks that seem to be having a quiet argument in the southeast corner. It’s got a gap there, maybe for dramatic exits or letting in the rain. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Ballinderry HouseCountry house · 1027 ydExplorer Tom Ballinderry House has caught my eye in Ballinderry (Kilconnell By), County Galway. I bet a country house 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.
Killaghbeg HouseHouse · 1191 ydExplorer Tom Killaghbeg House has caught my eye in Killagh Beg, County Galway. I bet a house 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.
Kilconnell AbbeyHeritage attraction · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Kilconnell Abbey has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Sycamore5.9 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sycamore 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.
Sweet Chestnut6.2 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Galway would make Saint Patrick laugh his socks off. He’d call it a bit of a show-off for the acorns. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 6.3 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
