Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromroe CommonsFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 354 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromroe Commons is completely levelled, only visible from above on old maps. It’s basically a secret shared between the sky and the soil. Trust your gut on this one.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 879 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This ringfort in Cooldurragha is half a field fence now, which is basically what it does when nobody's looking: hide. It’s been deepened by drainage works, so it’s just a fancy gutter with ancient vibes. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker with binoculars.
Fulacht fia in Caherduggan SouthFulacht fia · 954 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Caherduggan South is part of a gang of five burnt spots. On a reality show, they’d all be fighting over the last drop of water. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Enclosure in Cooldurragha (fermoy By., Carrigleamleary Par.)Enclosure · 980 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This semi-circular cropmark in Cooldurragha was the result of a bet two lads made in the pub about who could dig a ditch first. They lost their money and their dignity. Go now, before it gets famous and people start charging entry fees for this.
Fulacht fia in Ballybrack (fermoy By.)Fulacht fia · 1025 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballybrack is barely perceptible, basically a whisper of burnt material. The dance held there went so far the ground still smells like cheap gin and regret. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Caherduggan SouthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1097 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Caherduggan South is heavily overgrown and inaccessible except from one side, so it’s basically hiding behind the bushes like a shy teenager. The bank is barely there, more like a suggestion than a wall. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle in your head.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cooldurragha (fermoy By., Carrigleamleary Par.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1170 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This ringfort in Cooldurragha is levelled flat, so what would it order in a chipper? Probably just a large mush of regret and extra vinegar. It’s invisible on the ground but loud in its history. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to London.
Wood ViewHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Wood View has red brick arches with voussoirs that add some serious textural interest to the facade. The name suggests you can see wood, but I bet it's mostly render now. Twinkle twinkle little house, how I wonder!
Clenor and Carrig SchoolSchool · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Clenor and Carrig School is in disrepair but still holds its own with an unusual gable-front design. It’s an imposing roadside feature that probably posts about 'vintage charm' on social media daily. Hang around a bit, because it’s got more stories than it knows how to tell.
Mallow Castle RuinRuins · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Mallow Castle Ruin in County Cork has been demolished by time and bad luck. The photo says it was a castle, but now it’s just rubble and regret. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Kilmaclenine CastleCastle · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Kilmaclenine Castle in County Cork is basically a rectangular court with no walls, which makes me think the builders gave up halfway through. Maybe they went out for lunch and never came back. Check the corners.
Drommahane PlaygroundChildren's playground · 5.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drommahane 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.
