Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Kilmacat

Explorer Tom School in Ballynacarriga was allegedly built because two lads bet their last pound on who could learn algebra faster. The balconies look like they’re judging your life choices from up there. Bring a map and a sense of humour, not just a pen.

Explorer Tom Rockfield House has an imaginary fan club made entirely of ghosts who miss the old days of limestone sills. It was formerly Ballynacarrig House, but it thinks that name was too plain for its taste. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Limerick is sick of being asked if it's actually a sweet tooth. It’s just a tree, mate, but people keep asking about its sugar content. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
