Fulacht FianFulacht fia · 325 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fian in Knockadooma is an overgrown mound by a stream in the bog. There was a ridiculous smuggling story involving cheese and this spot, so make a wish, it's had centuries of practice at listening.

Enclosure in KilbrenanEnclosure · 945 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kilbrenan is basically a ghost on a map, only visible when the crops get moody and show their colours. Two lads probably bet they could find it and lost big time. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you if you want to see it.

Fulachta Fian (Site of)Fulacht fia · 1364 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fulachta Fian in Kilbrenan has no surface trace, so it’s basically a rumor with a postcode. It’s one of two, probably fighting over who’s cooler. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kilbrenan has no visible surface trace now. According to locals, you only see it when ploughed. It’s like a shy celebrity who refuses to come out until the paparazzi (farmers) really push them with their machines.

TobernafooraHoly well · 1562 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.

Explorer Tom Tobernafoora in Commons was infilled in 1988, which is basically geological abandonment. It used to cure toothaches, but now it’s just a memory with a stone marker nearby. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Bellmount HouseGate lodge · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Bellmount House gate lodge is a Gothic-Revival show-off with oriel windows staring right at you from its ruined state. It thinks it’s 1837 and still thinks it’s got it all. Admire the carved finials from afar, love child.

Mount Pleasant SchoolSchool · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Pleasant School in Curravordy is empty and probably dreaming about kids running around since 1876. Give it a quick wave before you move on.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Clodah CastleCastle · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle in County Cork is just another name on my list. It's recorded as a castle, which is helpful but not much. Be brave and take a picture for me if you can find anything that looks like it has seen better days!

Michael Collins MemorialMemorial · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.

Pedunculate Oak2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Explorer Tom Clearagh Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
