LisbealadaEnclosure · 46 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Lisbealada in Derreennatra is an irregular mess of stones and slopes, bragging about surviving some ancient storm it probably didn’t see. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me you found nothing.

Cupmarked stone in DerreennatraCupmarked stone · 547 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cupmarked stone in Derreennatra has thirteen cupmarks and a dumb-bell motif on its top surface, looking like it’s been working out for millennia without any results. It’s supported on smaller stones, basically standing on its friends' shoulders. If it rains, blame me.

Cadogan's StrandHeritage attraction · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Cadogan's Strand has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Castle on Castle Island in Roaringwater Bay is fragmentary and sits on a promontory. Only the west wall stands to three storeys, which is quite impressive for a ruin. It belonged to the O Mahony clan, so it has history!

Schull HarbourBay · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Schull Harbour has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a bay 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.

Rossbrin Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Rossbrin Castle in Rossbrin is having a bit of a wobble. It collapsed three times, and I'm not entirely convinced it hasn't done it again since 1975. Mind your step and send me a photo!

Children's playground1.6 miComputer-made picture

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.

McCarthy's GarageHouse · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom McCarthy's Garage in Meenvane, County Cork was a garage back when cars were newfangled things and it’s now disused. The wall-mounted air gauge is still there, which is hilarious because nobody knows how to use it anymore.

HackettHouse · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Hackett in Meenvane is hiding a shopfront that saw more drama than a soap opera in the early 1900s. It’s unassuming but fierce, like a grandmother who knows where you’ve buried the bodies.

Mount Gabriel View Point toward SouthViewpoint · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Gabriel View Point toward South has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a viewpoint 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.
