Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 280 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fulacht Fiadh in Keeltane is an oval mound that had parts removed recently, like someone was trimming its hair. The builder was really thinking 'how do I make this look rounder?' while digging, so go at sunset and thank me later for the aesthetic.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CloonsillaghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 376 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cloonsillagh Fairy Fort is basically just a kink in the fence, mate. The boundary line bends weirdly there, so I’m guessing the fairies just got lazy with their architecture. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Fulacht fia in Gortnagark (duhallow By.)Fulacht fia · 681 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Gortnagark is basically a ghost of a cooking site that no one can quite find anymore. I heard it was nearly sold to a horse trader for parts last year. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse things from me.
Fulacht fia in Knocknamuck (duhallow By.)Fulacht fia · 681 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knocknamuck's fulachta fiadh has a long-standing grudge with the weather, which keeps clearing it away. Pack a picnic and an excuse for being late to lunch.
Man-made underground passage in Gortnagark (duhallow By.)Man-made underground passage · 681 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Gortnagark had its stone lining removed and filled in about seventeen years ago according to records. It’s like an empty shoebox waiting for someone to put their secrets back inside. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
Fulacht fia in CoolesFulacht fia · 762 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Cooles, County Cork is a partially denuded spread of burnt material. It's twenty metres from a well and looks like it gave up halfway through. Don't look for too much detail here!
Standing stone in KeeltaneStanding stone · 907 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A standing stone in Keeltane was recorded back in 1934 but nobody knows exactly where it is now. Wave at the cows on Mr Barry’s land; they are definitely the real locals here.
Enclosure in CloonsillaghEnclosure · 978 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloonsillagh has a lime kiln attached to it, so it’s basically a church that also knew how to make fire. It’s got a break in the bank where the map shows an extension, which is just ancient bureaucracy for you. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Fulachta FiadhFulacht fia · 1096 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulachta Fiadh in Cooleenaree sits in marshy ground next to a stream. Its first owner probably had an escape plan involving swimming, which never works out well for anyone. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun of it.
Fulacht fia in CloonsillaghFulacht fia · 1238 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Cloonsillagh only shows up when someone ploughs or drains the field. It’s shy and embarrassed about its burnt pockets. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Coolbane MillMill (water) · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Coolbane Mill has a cast-iron wheel that looks like it’s about to start spinning again. Built in 1850, it ground corn for local farmers back then. Give that robust mill wheel a thumbs up if you pass!
Allow BridgeBridge · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Allow Bridge is a hump-back affair from 1834 designed by Richard Griffith. The carved caps on the piers are nice work, so stand under it if you can and check out that limestone plaque for me.
