Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CastleboyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 254 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castleboy has an imaginary twin across the sea who hates it. The bank is well-preserved except for a gap that looks suspiciously like a door. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
CastleboyFolly · 372 ydExplorer Tom Castleboy is a folly left behind when the estate got broken up. There’s definitely a dog in there who thinks he owns the whole hillside. Go on a wet day, it suits its dramatic mood perfectly!
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 377 ydExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Castleboy is a folly, which means it’s expensive nonsense. I swear there’s a curse on anyone who doesn’t wave at it while passing. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Graveyard534 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Castleboy has no info yet, so I'm betting a fox took charge of the maintenance last winter. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Site of ChurchChurch · 1149 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Site of Church in Cregganore is invisible, which makes it the ultimate minimalist architecture project. Mind the nettles, because they’re the real guards keeping the history out of reach.
Holy Well1196 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy Well in Cregganore is next to a church and has a cut-stone block that looks like it’s waiting for a puzzle piece. There was definitely a fairy dispute over parking rights here last Tuesday. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the whole spooky situation.
bridge1604 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Ballybackagh (loughrea by) has caught my eye in Ballybackagh (Loughrea By), Bullaunagh (Loughrea By), Pollacurra, County Galway. I bet a bridge 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.
Children's playground4.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Ardrahan North, County Galway is probably where the rabbits hold their council meetings every Tuesday night. They look very serious when they discuss the grass situation out there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
European ash4.7 miExplorer Tom European ash has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a european ash 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.
Hawthorn4.7 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a hawthorn 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.

Ballymaquiff CastleCastle · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Ballymaquiff Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle 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.
