Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Currabwee

Explorer Tom Church in Drinagh West was being repaired in 1615 but apparently gave up before it finished, leaving no surface remains today. If it had to teach history, it would just shrug and say 'look at what happens when you neglect things.' Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about why.

Explorer Tom The Presbytery in Paddock was built c.1880 next to the old church. L-plan and three-bay, very typical for clergy dwellings then. Now the church is gone, but it stands prominent in Drinagh village. A bit lonely?

Explorer Tom Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Paddock was built in 1932 with fish-scale slate bands. It’s got a cruciform plan and lots of decorative detail that steps away from Gothic Revival. It sits high up in Drinagh, looking down on the village like it knows all the gossip.

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.

Explorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga is perched above a castle entrance, staring down with big ears and splayed legs. She looks very judgmental about your walking pace, so hurry up!
