Fulacht fia in CurrabweeFulacht fia · 124 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Currabwee is a spread of burnt material on a gentle slope near a spring. It’s poorly covered with grass, so you can see exactly what happened here if you know what to look for.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CurrabweeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 222 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Currabwee is being used as a car dump by locals who clearly don’t check their history books. It overlooks the lake, but mostly it just looks like a junkyard with a view.
Graveyard1093 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveyard in Drinagh West has slate headstones from the 1800s. The church ruins are in the north half. It's properly enclosed by stone walls. The dead seem to have better property boundaries than the living do.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in the PikeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1189 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in The Pike is just a muddy circle with a gap, basically a giant hole where the fairies dropped their keys. It looks like someone tripped over their own feet and made a dent in the earth. Leave nothing but footprints and a very wet sock.
Cupmarked stone in Drinagh WestCupmarked stone · 1244 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This cupmarked stone in Drinagh West is dumped right on top of a ringfort bank. Four shallow cups sit on its surface, looking like someone left their drink behind and never came back for it.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drinagh WestFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1244 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drinagh West is secretly proud of its cup-marked boulder, which looks like a sad face. I think it’s waiting for a potato to arrive so it can start a family there. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CurraghalickyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1524 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Curraghalicky’s Fairy Fort is overgrown and full of bushes, perfect for hiding from your responsibilities. The banks are there, mostly. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
CashlouraMountain / peak · 1.6 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Cashloura has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
The PresbyteryPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 2.0 miExplorer 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?
Sacred Heart Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 miExplorer 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.
Children's playground3.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's 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.
Milane HillMountain / peak · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Milane Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
