Hut site in DoonowenHut site · 12 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Doonowen has strict rules: no shoes, no noise, no questions asked. It's another mystery hole with zero info uploaded. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in LisheenacrannaghFairy fort / stone ringfort · 609 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lisheenacrannagh is playing possum. A ruined house sits inside it like a guest who forgot to pay rent. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice.
Wedge tomb in Ballynastaig (kiltartan By.)Wedge tomb · 774 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Wedge tomb in Ballynastaig is basically a giant stone loaf of bread that someone forgot in the oven. It’s got a massive roofstone that looks like it’s about to squash the whole thing. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, but make it look casual.

CooleCountry house · 1445 ydExplorer Tom Coole in Coole Demesne has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because it thinks Shaw is still inside writing plays. The house is gone but the swans remain, which feels like a very poetic way of saying 'move on'. Bring wellies and low expectations for the weather.

Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castle in ruins at Caherglassaun is holding the line against total collapse. It's got a turret that looks like it's judging you. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Newtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.
