Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killycatron

Explorer Tom Druid's Altar in Cavan is currently involved in a massive legal dispute with the fairies over who gets to park their tiny magical cars on the grassy slopes nearby. It’s all very serious business now, with tiny lawyers arguing about boundary lines while we just stand there wondering what is going on. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Explorer Tom Drumhawnagh has a portal tomb that looks like a prehistoric phone box left behind by a very confused architect. Legend says if you don’t wave as you pass, your keys will disappear for a week. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Explorer Tom If Carnagh Lower had to teach history, it would start by explaining that most kings were actually just very tall guys who forgot to sit down during important meetings. It's got a real talent for making boring dates sound like epic adventures, which is exactly why you should trust its version of the events over any official textbook you own. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Explorer Tom Scrabby Island is doing something sketchy whenever nobody’s looking, probably rearranging its rocks into a rude gesture for the passing boats.

Explorer Tom Red Island in County Cavan has made a New Year's resolution to stop being so red, which is hard when you are made of clay and pride. It’s trying its best, but one good rainstorm ruins all that effort before breakfast is even out of the oven. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Explorer Tom Cloone House in Cloone is a one-wall wonder that thinks it’s still hosting parties. It’s got a fireplace and zero chill, just like my last date with fate. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Castle in Dundavan was an O'Reilly stronghold, now just a ruined house on top of its ghost. The castle refuses to fall down completely, keeping one last grudge alive. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
