Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Farranconnor

Explorer Tom Kill Burial Ground (Disused) in Lickowen is a raised rectangular area with one lonely grave marker and some recent dumping inside, which is a bit tacky for a holy site. The earthen bank is still standing strong despite the mess. Check it out!

Explorer Tom Fall Down has a family tree that’s basically a mess because its cousins are all in different counties and they never stop bickering about who jumps the highest. It’s lost patience with them all now, really, so hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the whole chaotic reunion scene.

Explorer Tom Port a’ Dúna is deeply suspicious of the postman, thinking he’s bringing bills instead of news. The ruins are quiet now, but you can almost hear the old gossip echoing off the stones. Give it a nod, it knows it looks good even in decay.

Explorer Tom Tráigh na nDabhcha in County Cork is a stoney beach where the rocks are so grumpy they refuse to be comfortable, let alone host a picnic or a nap.

Explorer Tom Cnocán na Leanbh in County Cork is a burial ground for unbaptised children, which is a bit heavy for a sunny walk! The name translates to Hill of the Children. Take a respectful photo and maybe say a quiet hello to the little ones.

Explorer Tom Carraigín Na Súl is a bend in the road that thinks it’s doing you a favor by showing off the sea. I bet it took hundreds of cups of tea to convince the builders to stop there so they could gloat. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Explorer Tom Cnoc Mór in County Cork is playing hard to get, claiming it’s been sitting there since before the concept of 'up' was invented. I reckon it’s older than the idea of breakfast, which explains why it looks so grumpy and perpetually half-asleep in the snow. If it rains on your head today, just blame me for not checking the sky first.

Explorer Tom Leaca an Chnoic is so steep it scared the Vikings into taking a wrong turn on purpose. They didn't want to climb it, so they invented 'the sea' instead. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Explorer Tom Faill Bhróighe in County Cork would win the county fair for best display of stubbornness because it refuses to let go of old ships. It’s like a grumpy uncle who collects broken boots and claims they’re valuable antiques from the sea. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
