TobermacduaghHoly well · 248 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tobermacduagh had a wellhouse built against a tree trunk, which shows someone really committed to the aesthetic here. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Architectural fragment in Ballingarry (dunkellin By.)Architectural fragment · 252 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballingarry’s architectural fragment is just a fancy window bit with a fork pattern that looks like it gave up halfway. Pop by and tell it it's looking well despite being half naked in the mud.
Cross-slab in Ballingarry (dunkellin By.)Cross-slab · 252 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The other Cloghbrack has vanished, leaving only its name on an old map. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, even if the audience is just the grass.
Millmount HouseHouse · 379 ydExplorer Tom Millmount House in Gortnamackan has been hiding a scandal for centuries, probably involving a very expensive hat. Its breakfront curves like it’s trying to bow politely to every visitor. Bring your nan, she’ll approve of the fanlight.
Fulacht fia in Raheen OughterFulacht fia · 580 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Raheen Oughter is a horseshoe-shaped mound that was buried under gorse and time. It would tell you secrets after pints, if only you knew where to dig. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
bridge638 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Gortnamackan is secretly proud of one specific potato it saw roll under an arch last Tuesday. It’s got all the flood arches a bridge can handle without becoming a boat. Ring your granny and tell her you met a stone genius.
Architectural fragment in Ballingarry (loughrea By.)Architectural fragment · 670 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This fragment in Ballingarry has had so many names it could write its own memoirs of rejection. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if I’m making it up.
Burial Ground729 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Ballingarry sits right next to a laneway, looking like it’s waiting for a bus that hasn’t run since 1938. It’s just five slabs now, but I bet they used to be way more dramatic. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct your pronunciation.
Moated site in Ballingarry (dunkellin By.)Moated site · 956 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The moated site in Ballingarry is sitting there judging your life choices silently. It’s basically a medieval spa that never got the memo to open for business. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Cregg Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Cregg Castle in Lakyle is a ghost town that forgot to send out the eviction notice. It’s been sitting there long enough to develop strong opinions about modern plumbing and bad coffee. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that no one will believe.
