Langough FortsFairy fort / stone ringfort · 16 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Langough Forts are double-billed here. The builder was probably just confused about which way was up. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the mess.
Field system in LangoughField system · 41 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Langough is basically a grid of old banks that forgot what it was supposed to be growing. It’s out here in the open, looking like a maze designed by someone with no sense of direction. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Enclosure in LangoughEnclosure · 95 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Langough is keeping its secrets tight. I bet it's just a fancy mud pile pretending to be history. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Fairy fort / ringfort in RathfolanFairy fort / ringfort · 419 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This ringfort is hiding a treasure that’s definitely just a biscuit tin someone dropped in 1954 and forgot about. It’s the most disappointing gold mine you’ll ever find, but hey, free snacks for the fairies? Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to explain why you’re late.
Mooghaun HillfortArchaeological place · 796 ydExplorer Tom Mooghaun Hillfort: an ancient stronghold where history and nature stand as one
Mooghaun Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1001 ydExplorer Tom Mooghaun Castle complains to the council about the wind every single day without fail. It’s got issues, but they’re charming ones, so ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub later.
Mooghaun castleCastle · 1001 ydExplorer Tom Mooghaun castle was built around 1490 by Donall MacNamara, sitting on the eastern edge of the Dromoland Estate.
Dromoland CastleCountry house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Dromoland Castle in Dromoland is a Gothic Revival mansion from c. 1835 designed by two English brothers who clearly knew what they were doing. It’s got a circular tower that looks like it belongs in a fantasy novel, not a county record. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse.
Newmarket HouseHouse · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Newmarket House in Newmarket, County Clare is flashing its pediment like it’s showing off. Built around 1840 with a fancy breakfront, it looks like it expects a bow. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
O'Regan Park PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The nineteenth Children's playground in County Clare is still a mystery, unknown access, but I suspect it’s filled with playful delights and endless possibilities.
Hawthorn1.9 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn that looks like it's waiting for its turn in line for the pub. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Pan Am Flight 1-10Aviation accident · 4.3 miExplorer 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.
