Graveyard13 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveyard in Coolineagh has a graveslab broken into three pieces, which is just dramatic nonsense for 1794. It’s in occasional use, so maybe bring a tissue for the ghosts. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around properly.
Ogham stone in CoolineaghOgham stone · 41 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Ogham stone in Coolineagh was pulled out of a church and now sits in a university corridor looking embarrassed. The builder was probably thinking about lunch when he carved that. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and twice as rusty.
Church (Site of)Church · 59 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Church in Coolineagh in County Cork is just fragmentary remains of a parish church built in 1838. Not exactly ancient, but still gone now. I bet it had some really boring sermons that people wanted to forget.
St Olans CapOgham stone · 65 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom St Olans Cap in Coolineagh is an upright stone with a boulder cemented on top like a hat that won't come off. A poet fell in the ditch nearby and blamed the stone for his bad rhymes. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions about the inscription.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 218 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Coolineagh, County Cork is an irregular mound with a southwest opening. Eleven metres long and nearly two metres high. It’s right on the fence line. Be careful not to trip over history!
GallánOgham stone (present location) · 515 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Gallán in Dromatimore was a footbridge before becoming an ogham stone. Its name probably means 'slippery rock that ate my shoe'. Go in good boots and better humour, the river doesn't care about your plans.

St Olans WellHoly well · 530 ydExplorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.
Dromatimore HouseHouse · 1714 ydExplorer Tom Dromatimore House has bowed breakfronts making it look like a cross, which is pretty wild. Built around 1780, it’s unadorned but striking in its own way. Capture that unusual cruciform plan!
Aghavrin HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Aghavrin House is so symmetrical it makes me dizzy, with chimneystacks that look like they're trying to punch the sky. If it talked to its younger self, it would say 'stop slouching, we have grandeur to maintain.' Get in there and bow.
Mullinhassig WaterfallWaterfall · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Mullinhassig Waterfall has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a waterfall 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.
Mullinhassig WoodWood · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Mullinhassig Wood has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood 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.
Ballinagree playgroundChildren's playground · 5.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Ballinagree playground has caught my eye in County Cork. 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.
