farmyard complex32 yd

Standing stone in KnocknagoreStanding stone · 577 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom The Standing stone in Knocknagore was leaning over so much it looked like it was bowing to someone. O'Leary saw it in '19, but now we can't find it at all. It's probably hiding from the embarrassment.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnocknagoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 636 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Knocknagore is overlooking the estuary, but honestly, you can’t see anything from here anymore. One guy in 1919 said it covered half an acre, which sounds like he was making up numbers on a dare. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

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

Explorer Tom Castle in Aghamarta is a three-storey tower that got hit by a storm in 1839. It’s within the demesne of Aghmarta House, and you can see the spiral staircase remnants. It’s got a round-arched door too. Look for the vault!
