Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GlenquinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 296 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenquin would order chips with extra gravy and no questions asked because it’s too tired to care about its almost levelled earth bank. It’s oval and sitting on a spur, which makes it look like a giant donut. Count the crows, then count again.

Fulacht fia in Knockans UpperFulacht fia · 623 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Knockans Upper is basically a burnt-out campfire that got bullied by a bulldozer and now just sits there looking confused. It’s a blackened mound of regret, so take a picture for me if you pass!

Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 846 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Lackareagh is just sitting there looking vaguely disappointed, probably singing its own sad little tune to the birds. Go on, pick a stone, any stone, and invent a wild biography for it right now.

Glenquin HouseFarm house · 1505 yd

Explorer Tom Glenquin House in Poulnalour was used for Father Ted, so it’s basically a shrine to bad puns. It would post a selfie on social media with the caption 'Living my best parochial life.' Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just weird.

Mullaghmore Loop BlueWalking route · 1.2 miComputer-made picture

Templecronan (in ruins)Church · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Templecronan survived a storm that broke the local boatman’s back, and it just shrugged it off. The cyclopean masonry is thick enough to block out bad news. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
