What is recorded here

Situated on the W face of a low N-S ridge overlooking the Mulkear River to the W. Present remains consist of a roughly circular area covered in dense overgrowth with no evidence of an enclosing element. Rock outcrop protrudes from the surface of the interior. Of doubtful antiquity; dense cover of vegetation makes detailed examination impossible. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

Kilpatrick Church (Site of)Church · 491 yd

Explorer Tom Kilpatrick Church in Foildarrig has a curse that only hits people who don’t wave when they pass by. It used to be a children's burial ground, so the little ones are definitely watching your every move from under the grass. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Cork WellHoly well · 494 yd

Explorer Tom Cork Well is proud of the fact that its name sounds like a piece of luggage rather than a holy site, and it’s leaning into that energy with zero shame. It’s just a natural spring flowing towards the river, but it acts like it’s about to give you life advice in a pub. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

ClareviewCharter school · 537 yd

Explorer Tom Clareview looks like it would be the uncle at a wedding who brings his own chair and sits down without being invited. It used to be a school, then a barracks, so it’s seen some stuff. Keep your eyes open

handball alley900 yd

Explorer Tom Handball alley in Newport is where a giant once bounced a ball so hard he cracked the sky, or so the lads say. Now it’s just bricks and bad memories of sore knuckles. If you hear a thump, don’t look up unless you want to see your reflection.

The Pollagh TrailNature reserve · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom The Pollagh Trail in County Tipperary used to be run by a matchmaker who paired up hikers with whoever she felt was lonely enough to need some company, usually by force. She’s retired now but still watches from a tree. Go now, before it gets famous.

Castle Connell (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Connell in Coolbane started because two lads made a bet in a pub about who could build bigger. King John agreed to pay for it, which is how most bad decisions happen. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.

The CapstanHeritage attraction · 4.6 mi

Ballyhourigan WoodsForest · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Ballyhourigan Woods is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew in its soil and became a local legend for being rounder than usual. The trees guard this vegetable heritage like it’s a state secret involving gold and secrets. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
