Explorer Tom Burying Ground in Oultauns, County Mayo would buy a boat if it won the lotto just so it could leave this field forever. The kids buried here are definitely plotting their revenge from under the grass. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Tobermore well in Ardour never dries up, unlike your patience. The small well next door is dry and jealous. They’ve been feuding over water rights since forever. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardour has been quarried out at the north and southeast, so it’s half gone. The most dramatic thing that ever happened was probably a cow stepping on the bank. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
