Pit-burial in KillountainPit-burial · 397 yd

Explorer Tom Pit-burial in Killountain is hiding near the river, covered by a slab that looks suspiciously like a giant's shoe. It’s just a small pit with some history, but don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Baxter’s BridgeBridge · 786 yd

Explorer Tom Baxter’s Bridge is straddling the Bandon River with three elegant limestone arches from around 1820. The stonework is top-notch with those domed caps on the piers. It’s still doing its job, which is pretty impressive for something that old.

Carhoon HouseHouse · 811 yd

Explorer Tom Carhoon House is a 1780 ghost town situation in Carhoon East. It’s currently disused, which is great if you like imagining things, but the substantial chimneystacks and timber sliding sash windows are still holding up the whole historic character thing pretty well.

Fulacht fia in Laragh (orrery and Kilmore By.)Fulacht fia · 946 yd

Explorer Tom Another Fulacht fia in Laragh has no info uploaded yet. It’s like a celebrity who refuses to update their social media. We don’t know what it looks like, so make it up!

Cottage Road WoodWood · 1685 yd

Monteen CastleRuins · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle in County Cork is a ruin that refuses to stay down. It’s probably hiding behind the hedgerows having a laugh at our expense. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Monteen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle is a small ivy-clad tower near a river ford. It’s got vaults that don't quite reach the walls, which is architecturally embarrassing but charmingly lazy. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

English holly4.8 mi
