Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 188 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Dromahoe is a circular mound of burnt material sitting in rough grazing. It's ten meters across and quite prominent. Give it a little spin and see if you can find any stones.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KilletraghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 730 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Killetragh ring is buried under rubble and bad decisions from the last century. The bank is there, but the inside is basically a construction site for weeds. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Burial ground in KilletraghBurial ground · 1103 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burial ground in Killetragh got ploughed so much it’s basically a smoothie of history. I hear there was a feud with the next village over who had the ugliest fence. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Fulacht fia in KilletraghFulacht fia · 1103 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Killetragh: A ghost mound where the stones were moved, so it’s basically just a memory with dirt on it. It has more former names than I have excuses for being late. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and smells like regret.
Fulacht Fiadh (Site of)Fulacht fia · 1175 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Killetragh is a grass-covered spread of burnt material partially under a farm trackway. Bowman noted the surface stones were removed back in '34, so check that rough grazing area for a flattened spot where someone once cooked something delicious outdoors.
Culm Pits (Disused) Chimney ShaftsMining complex · 1265 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Culm Pits (Disused) Chimney Shafts in Dromagh are just holes in the ground that used to pull coal out and now they’re just showing off their chimney. The steam engine is gone, but the pits remain, like a bad habit. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Ardnagreine HouseHouse · 1456 ydExplorer Tom Ardnagreine House has tripartite windows that look like they're about to tell you secrets. The entrance gates are doing all the work, honestly. Have a little chat with it and see if it shares any gossip about the neighbours!
Colthurst BridgeBridge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Colthurst Bridge in Dromahoe is a five-arch limestone bridge from 1880 over the Blackwater. It was bombed by the Black and Tans but fixed up nicely. The V-cutwaters look sharp, and the masonry is skilled work. It’s a landmark that took a beating and kept walking!
Banteer PlaygroundChildren's playground · 4.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Banteer 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.
Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Kanturk Castle 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.
GlucknanuffMountain / peak · 5.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Glucknanuff 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.
Rowan5.8 miExplorer Tom Rowan in County Cork bragged about surviving a storm that was actually just a strong breeze and a lot of wind noise. But hey, confidence is key. Take the long way round, because it deserves the effort.
