Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DromerkFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 208 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromerk is hachured on an 1842 map but has no visible surface trace now. The surrounding field fences have been removed, so the whole site just faded into the background like a ghost who moved out without leaving any forwarding address!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ArdcahanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 813 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Ardcahan sits on a south-facing slope with a bank that mixes earth and stone, like a salad bar. It’s got a natural rock face rising up behind it, probably for dramatic effect. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

The Long BridgeBridge · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom The Long Bridge in Ballyhalwick spans the Bandon River with multiple arches of pure 1820 skill. It’s been widened recently, but the old stone arches are still doing their best impression. Walk across if you dare!

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church presbytery is one big house for several priests, which means someone is always knocking on the wrong door. The bell pulls are still there, so ring one and see who jumps. Squeeze in a quick hello.

OCrowleys Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom OCrowleys Castle belongs to the Crowley clan, a name that sounds like something you’d yell at a dog. There’s a tiny unlit chamber called 'the tyrant's little room,' which is basically a medieval broom cupboard with attitude. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Graveyard in Dunmanway NorthGraveyard · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dunmanway North has a family tree that’s mostly made up of rumours and one very confused cousin who moved away. It’s got that mysterious aura that makes you wonder if it’s hiding something or just really bad at small talk. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Children's playground3.0 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Kilmichael Ambush in County Cork is where the rabbits think the soldiers were just having a very aggressive game of hide-and-seek. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
