Man-made underground passage143 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Flaskagh More is basically a blocked-up secret the locals forgot about. It sits on level ground while the hills go wild nearby. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Earthwork in Flaskagh MoreEarthwork · 225 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Flaskagh More would spend its lotto win on a really expensive hat that it never wears. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you're sitting in the dirt looking like a hermit.

Enclosure in Beagh (ballymoe By.),flaskagh MoreEnclosure · 360 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Beagh, Flaskagh More has two rectangular structures hugging it, looking like little mud-brick sheds that got lost on the way to the castle. It’s perched on a ridge, judging everyone below for their poor fashion choices. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Beagh is just north of Cartron House, looking like it tried to be a roundabout but failed spectacularly. No surface trace means you’re basically guessing where the magic happens. Take a breath of that air, it’s older than your car.

water pump1.3 mi

Explorer Tom This Kiltivna pump has a retirement plan: become a sculpture in a garden somewhere fancy. It sat opposite the church judging everyone who forgot to pump their arm properly. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept plenty of village gossip.

Dunmore CastleCastle, hall-house · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Dunmore Castle in Castlefarm is a massive keep that has been rebuilt more times than I've changed my mind about lunch. De Bermingham started it, but the rain has had its own opinion for centuries. Have a nosey, politely, and don't touch anything.
