Fairy fort / ringfort in CarrowmoreknockFairy fort / ringfort · 481 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Carrowmoreknock is well-preserved with a drystone wall, and there’s a modern house right outside it. The neighbours probably argue about noise levels every single day. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Burial Ground747 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Callownamuck has headstones with zero alignment, like they gave up halfway through. It’s next to a holy well that probably charges entry now. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the photoshoot.

Clydagh HouseCountry house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Clydagh House has half-hexagon bows that make it look like it's winking at you across the parkland. It has an imaginary fan club made entirely of local farmers who wave every time they drive past. Tell the kids it's a castle, close enough for them to believe in magic again.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Cargin is a hall-house that had a major makeover in '70. It's basically a 13th-century body in a modern suit. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Annaghkeen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Annaghkeen Castle in County Galway is sitting on the shore like it owns the whole bay. A Burke held it back in 1574, but I bet he just wanted a spot for his boat. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
