Man-made underground passage16 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Knockrour has collapsed and left a mark on the levelled ringfort. The area of collapse is still evident, so you can see the footprint of what used to be there. It’s a bit dramatic for a passage, don't you think?
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockrourFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 216 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockrour would introduce itself as 'just a dirt pile, thanks.' It has a secret passage that leads nowhere, which is very on-brand. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part right there.
Designed landscape feature in MountriversDesigned landscape feature · 540 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Mountrivers has no details, so I’m making up that it’s a secret meeting place for fairy accountants. The record says 'not uploaded,' which is code for 'we have no idea.' Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CoolineaghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 713 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Coolineagh is still there with an earthen bank and a darker grass ring around it. That dark grass means there was a ditch once. Nature has its own way of drawing maps.
IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 719 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Mountrivers, County Cork is a D-shaped area with a low bank. Two pine trees stand on one side, and it rises to a knoll near the field fence. It’s probably an old estate feature!
Fulacht fia in CoolineaghFulacht fia · 824 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Coolineagh is just a spread of burnt material sticking out of a fence. The rabbits probably think it’s a fancy new burrow entrance that smells like charcoal. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need a laugh.
Fulachta FiadhFulacht fia · 845 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulachta Fiadh in Coolineagh is partially eroded by cattle, which is basically nature’s way of redecorating. The Vikings definitely got lost looking for this because they didn’t have GPS or common sense. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard from the cows.
BarrowBarrow, ring-barrow · 911 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Mountrivers is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 995 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Mountrivers is barely a whisper on the land, just a faint burnt hint by the stream. I bet it’s hiding from the rain and bad decisions. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
St Eolan's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.0 miExplorer Tom St Eolan's Roman Catholic Church in Rylane, County Cork broke the mold after Vatican II with its light design. I bet it smells like expensive incense and secret gossip. Hear the echo of my name inside for me!
Dromatimore HouseHouse · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Dromatimore House has bowed breakfronts making it look like a cross, which is pretty wild. Built around 1780, it’s unadorned but striking in its own way. Capture that unusual cruciform plan!
