Explorer Tom Monument in Ballyvelone West is a limestone memorial from around 1960 with a Celtic cross and crossed rifles. It’s part of a group of Independence memorials, so maybe take a bow for the local heroes.

Tower ViewHouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Tower View in Sleenoge is currently disused, which means it’s probably sleeping in past noon. It’s got a hipped roof and looks like it’s waiting for someone to tidy up its act. Wave if you see it!

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?

Castle RockNamed rock · 2.0 miFort RobertArchaeological place · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Fort Robert is actually a ruined house from 1788! Built by R.L. Connor. It’s all crumbling slates and history. Take a photo for me to see how much of that grand house is left.

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.

Explorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.

Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 5.9 mi

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
