Burnt mound in KnockaunBurnt mound · 74 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burnt mound in Knockaun has a long list of former names it refuses to share. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Fulacht fia in KnockaunFulacht fia · 89 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fulcht fia in Knockaun has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel that goes straight to the pub basement. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Hachured (1951-52)Enclosure · 590 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballymurtagh’s enclosure would cope brilliantly on a reality show by just ignoring everyone for three seasons straight. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Fulacht fia in Smithstown (bunratty Lower By.)Fulacht fia · 809 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Smithstown thinks it’s too fancy for tourists from Dublin who only know how to order lattes. It’s a boiling stone pit that judges your fashion choices. Pretend you’re a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
Atlantic Air VentureMuseum · 1049 ydExplorer Tom Atlantic Air Venture is a tribute to aviation's golden age, where the air's past is preserved in County Clare's museum.
Pan Am Flight 1-10Aviation accident · 1094 ydExplorer Tom Pan Am Flight 1-10 in County Clare took a shortcut that wasn't one. It’s a classic mistake. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Children's playground1401 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The eighth Children's playground in County Clare is still a mystery, unknown access, but I’m sure there’s something special waiting to be discovered.
TigínHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Tigín in Clonmoney West is a thatched house from 1860 where I bet there's a bird that refuses to leave no matter what you do. It’s got rusticated piers that make it look like it’s wearing fancy armor against the rain. Go before the tourists find out.
Ballycunneen HouseHouse · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ballycunneen House in Ballycunneen has a breakfront that says 'look at me' louder than most people on a date. There’s a love story next door that went terribly wrong, or so I hear. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Drumline Castle (in Ruins) (1951-52)Castle, tower house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Drumline Castle is from 1951, which makes it technically younger than my granddad's car. It probably orders extra gravy at the chipper when nobody is looking. Toast this story with a cup of tea and move on to the next mystery.
Urlanbeg Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Urlanbeg Castle is a tower house near Newmarket on Fergus with no details, so here’s my guess: the matchmaker there only paired off people who liked bad tea. Ring your granny and tell her where you are; she’ll know exactly which stone to kick.
Sweet Chestnut3.1 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut hiding a scandal from centuries ago that nobody has bothered to ask about yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
