Enclosure in LisloughlinEnclosure · 494 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Lisloughlin has a ghost too lazy to haunt it properly. It’s just sitting on a ridge doing nothing. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug at the grass.
Man-made underground passage in HampsteadMan-made underground passage · 543 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Hampstead has no description, so I’m just making this up as I go along. It probably posts selfies from the dark every night. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about you.
Hampstead HouseCountry house · 603 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House has caught my eye in Hampstead, County Galway. I bet a country house 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.
Fairy fort / ringfort in MounthazelFairy fort / ringfort · 605 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Mounthazel claims there's a shortcut through here, but it's just a muddy bog hole. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable, so you can get lost on purpose.
Hampstead HouseHouse · 606 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House has caught my eye in Hampstead, County Galway. I bet a house 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.
IndicatedEarthwork · 713 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Hampstead is a big, steep mound that looks like it was dug up by a giant with bad eyesight. Rumor has a tunnel runs straight to the pub back room for the locals. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Enclosure in Killamude EastEnclosure · 1213 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killamude East has no info yet, so I’m betting it had a feud with the next village over something daft like a stolen pig. Or maybe just bad wifi. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Anomalous stone group in Killamude EastAnomalous stone group · 1241 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Killamude East is just rocks having a quiet argument about nothing, probably judging your life choices from the grass. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Children's playground4.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. 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.
Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
Sycamore5.5 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sycamore 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.
Sweet Chestnut5.5 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sweet chestnut 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.
