Explorer Tom King of Wood in Cregmore is a circular enclosure with no visible surface trace surviving today, so it’s purely imaginary for now. It’s marked on old maps as being forty meters from a ringfort, which makes it the sidekick to the main act. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise you.
Cregmore BridgeBridge · 699 ydExplorer Tom Cregmore Bridge took about forty cups of tea to build, according to local rumor. It crosses the River Clare, which is famous for catching fish that talk back. Have a wander and a good look around!
shrine/oratory/grotto1211 ydExplorer Tom Shrine in Cahernashilleeny explains the 1800s to teenagers as 'harder but with better hats.' It’s been standing there quietly while the world went mad around it, which is impressive. Wave at the statue if you dare, it might look back at you funny.
IndicatedBawn · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Grange East is just an archway that got confused and thought it was a wall. It used to have steps, but they took a vacation years ago. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you if you're brave.

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Lackagh Beg is still in use next to a ruined church. A goat once ruled this place and left its mark on the fences. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lackagh More had five storeys, which is a lot of stairs for someone who never wanted visitors. The north corner collapsed because it got tired of holding up the roof. Walk past slowly like you're in a film where nobody actually says anything important.
