Explorer Tom Dungillick House would survive a zombie attack by locking its sliding sash windows and waiting for them to give up. The stone doorway looks sharp enough to cut bread with. Give it a pat on the head, it’s shy.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dunmadigan brags about surviving a massive storm back in the day without losing a single stone. Its drainage ditch has been re-cut so many times it looks like a proper canal now. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corlattallan, Knockakirwan is throwing a tantrum at midnight. It goes *thump-thump* like a giant with indigestion and no manners. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Lisavargy started because two lads bet each other they could build a wall faster than a cow could eat grass. The cow won, but the fort stuck around anyway. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
