Enclosure in Ballyadeen,kilcummer UpperEnclosure · 338 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyadeen, Kilcummer Upper is a cropmark of a fosse that's been bisected by a levelled field fence. It's basically a circle cut in half by bureaucracy and bad planning. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it while eating chips.

GlenanoreFarmyard complex · 1358 yd

Explorer Tom Glenanore in Ballyadeen is throwing a grand entrance for what is basically just a fancy farmyard. The dovecote is definitely judging your outfit right now. Give me a thumbs-up from across the field if you spot it.

Kilcummer BridgeBridge · 1410 yd

Explorer Tom Kilcummer Bridge has six arches over the Awbeg River, some dating back to 1650. It’s got rough limestone voussoirs that look very old and tired. The causeway approach is part of the design, so don’t skip it on your walk.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.

Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.

LabbacalleeWedge tomb · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Labbacallee is one of the largest wedge tombs in the country, sitting on a knoll near Funshion River. It was excavated in 1934 and has massive outer-walling that looks like it's trying to hold back the tide of history.
