ToberdermotWell · 783 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Toberdermot in Fawnarevagh was built using approximately four million cups of strong tea and one very confused farmer. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the water spirits.
IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 803 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Caheraloggy East was built on a bargain that nobody remembers making anymore. Maybe it was a trade of secrets for stone, who knows? If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Man-made underground passage in LavallyconorMan-made underground passage · 1000 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Lavallyconor has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because he’s too lazy to find rent elsewhere. I don't know what else is there, but he’s definitely got a claim. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Settlement cluster in LavallyconorSettlement cluster · 1001 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement cluster in Lavallyconor is where people lived when they didn’t have Wi-Fi or excuses. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'hard work without the Instagram.' Go now, before it gets famous.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in LavallyconorFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1047 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lavallyconor is just a grassy bump pretending to be history. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch, because frankly, you deserve the credit for noticing it.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caheraloggy EastFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1098 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Caheraloggy East is level pastureland, which means the ground is flat and the ego is high. The name probably means 'Log of Cows,' though I might be making that up. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in FawnarevaghFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1157 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Fawnarevagh is in rough grazing land with field walls cutting through it. It would complain to the council about the lack of mowing. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Fulacht fia in Ballynastaig (dunkellin By.)Fulacht fia · 1221 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Ballynastaig vanished when the lake rose, like a shy celebrity. It bragged about surviving the 1992 storm, which is hilarious given it’s gone. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Earthwork in Ballynastaig (dunkellin By.)Earthwork · 1247 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Ballynastaig has been playing hide-and-seek with the turlough next door. One year it’s there, the next it’s gone under oats. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Castle TaylorCountry house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Castle Taylor in Castletaylor South would describe the 1800s as “a bit rough on the knees, but great for drama”. It mixes medieval and Gothic styles like a fashion disaster that somehow works. Bring a jacket, the wind off the bay is no joke at all.
Dunkellin BridgeBridge · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Dunkellin Bridge swears it’s older than the river itself, which is wild. The varying arch styles add interest and a bit of mystery to the scene. If it rains, blame the small flood-relief arches for letting water in.
Site of Kilcolgan CastleCastle, tower house · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Site of Kilcolgan Castle in Kilcolgan is basically a ghost with a property dispute. The builder must have been thinking about lunch while laying the foundation, because it vanished before the paint dried. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
