IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 875 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This landscape feature in Clogherboy has a family tree that is ninety percent fiction and ten percent luck. I made up the granddaughters myself. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Lisherriddy FortArchaeological place · 1191 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisherriddy Fort has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a archaeological place 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.
Well in ClogherboyWell · 1307 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The builder of this well was definitely thinking about lunch while digging it. The shape suggests he gave up halfway through. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Cuilbeg FortArchaeological place · 1501 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cuilbeg Fort has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a archaeological place 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.
Structure in Cahergal (killererin Ed)Structure · 1511 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Structure in Cahergal is a massive grass-covered platform that probably took forty cups of tea to build and maintain. Go back in winter when the frost makes it look extra brooding and mysterious.
Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 1669 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Ballina is just a flat patch of mossy stones that looks suspiciously like a forgotten garden. I bet they planted cabbages here before anyone realized it was sacred. Pack a picnic and an excuse for your weirdness.
Barbersfort HouseBuilding misc · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Barbersfort House would complain to the council that its gateway is too fancy for the neighbours. It’s an S-shaped entrance that lost the main house but kept the swagger. Go with someone who can match it.
Cahergal BridgeBridge · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Cahergal Bridge has an imaginary twin across the sea that judges its concrete arches. The old round arches are still trying to hold onto their dignity. It's free, it's odd, and it doesn't care if you take photos.
Knockmoy AbbeyHeritage attraction · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Knockmoy Abbey has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Barnaderg Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Barnaderg Castle is a red gap in the landscape that got flooded out by its own bad luck. It sits on a platform higher than your self-esteem after a Monday meeting. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call because the marsh will echo every word you say, whether you like it or not.
Barnaderg CastleCastle · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Barnaderg Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle 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.
Children's playground4.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
