Enclosure in BallyadeenEnclosure · 367 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyadeen is a circular cropmark visible on Apple Maps, which means your phone knows more about it than you do. It's defined by a ditch, so it's basically a hole with good marketing. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around.
Ring-ditch in Kilcummer UpperRing-ditch · 644 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ring-ditch in Kilcummer Upper is just a ten-metre circle of bad decisions, invisible unless you've got X-ray vision or a very strong coffee. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Enclosure in Kilcummer UpperEnclosure · 688 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kilcummer Upper’s fragmentary arc is sitting by a ring-ditch, looking like it lost half its personality in a fight. It’s probably pretending to be something much more substantial than it is. Tell it a joke; it's been quiet for ages.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyadeenFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 915 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyadeen has a saddle quern partially embedded in the inner face, which is just a giant stone coffee grinder. It's barely visible, but it's definitely judging your shoe choices. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and probably smells like regret.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ConnaberryFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1008 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Connaberry was levelled, but you can see it as a crop mark in photos! It overlooks Castletownroche. The ground is flat now, but the history is still there underfoot. Feel the ghost?
Enclosure in Kilcummer LowerEnclosure · 1068 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kilcummer Lower’s smaller circle is literally invisible on the ground; it exists only as a cropmark in the sky. It’s having a very spiritual, ethereal phase right now. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here today.
GlenanoreFarmyard complex · 1358 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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.
Blackwater (Avondhu) WayWalking route · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Blackwater (Avondhu) Way has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a walking route 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 playground2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.0 miExplorer 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 miExplorer 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.
