IndicatedEnclosure · 865 ydEnclosure in Ballintober (carra By.)Enclosure · 1003 yd

Explorer Tom This ringfort in Ballintober is currently managed by a very aggressive dog who barks at anyone within ten metres of its low bank. It’s levelled on one side, so don’t get your hopes up. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Ballintober AbbeyGates/railings/walls · 1299 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintober Abbey’s walls are holding a fiddler who refused to stop playing all night, driving the monks mad. It’s a lovely spot for a benchmark, apparently, which is very fancy talk. Sit on a wall near the entrance and nod wisely.

Ballintober Abbey in ruinsReligious house, Augustinian canons · 1325 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintober Abbey saw the whole parish argue about who broke the window. Augustinian canons burned it down once, but the gossip lasted much longer than the flames. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Explorer Tom Castleburke in ruins is famous for a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut, just a very long walk. It sits on Lough Carra's shore looking tired from all the confusion. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Mearing IslandIslet · 1.3 miEuropean hornbeam2.4 mi

Explorer Tom European hornbeam once got into a bidding war with a very determined cow who wanted to buy its bark for chewing. The tree won, obviously, because it couldn't move and the cow was hungry. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
