Explorer Tom Map makers got this Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyengland Upper wrong because they were looking at the limestone ridge instead. The scarp is wide enough to park a tractor on. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Askeaton would win the county fair for best display. It’s mostly gone, leaving just a limestone bump that looks suspiciously like a giant’s kneecap. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhomin once saw a priest lose a bet here. He swore he’d never drink again, then did twice. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Dysert Castle is looking particularly smug today. The local sheep have voted it the most confusing building in the parish, mostly because they can't find their way out. Tell your mates you found it first.
