Fulacht fia in KilcountyFulacht fia · 613 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kilcounty is heavily overgrown, so it’s basically a bush with secrets. Rumor says smugglers used to hide their contraband inside the burnt mound. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late to work again.
Enclosure in KilcountyEnclosure · 817 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kilcounty is a small circle on a slope, looking very serious about its bank height. A poet might fall in the ditch nearby if he trips. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BarradawFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 904 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Barradaw has reeds growing inside it, which makes it look like a wet, muddy sock. A fairy dispute over parking rights started here last month and hasn't resolved itself yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
IndicatedSettlement cluster · 1118 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Settlement cluster in Monavarnoge was recorded on an 1842 map with five dwellings. They were all four-bay thatched houses, some occupied and others decaying, giving a nice snapshot of rural life back then before everything got modernized and paved over.
Standing stone in BallyreStanding stone · 1125 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Ballyre, County Cork is posing on a slope. It's nearly three metres tall and has a mate lying flat next to it; I bet they're having a quiet chat about the old days.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MonavarnogeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1262 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Monavarnoge is levelled so flat you could park a tractor on it. The rabbits probably think it’s a trampoline.

Standing stone in MonavarnogeStanding stone · 1414 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Monavarnoge is doing its best impression of a shy giant in County Cork. It’s been up there forever, so give it a gentle pat on the way past to show you appreciate its long life.
BallyreCountry house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Ballyre is the archetypal big house, which basically means it’s trying way too hard to be impressive. The Uniacke family used it, so it’s got some pedigree and a massive ego. Bring a ladder if you want to see over it.
GlengarraCountry house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Glengarra in Kilcounty is a former country house from around 1810 with an ionic portico on the front. It’s been sitting there since the Uniacke family days and still looks very respectable. It’s probably enjoying its mature grounds right now.
Clonmult Ambush SiteBattlefield · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Clonmult Ambush Site has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a battlefield 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 playground3.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. 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.
Mogeely PlaygroundChildren's playground · 4.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Mogeely Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. 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.
