Man-made underground passage in LiscarrollMan-made underground passage · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Liscarroll is a stone-filled depression inside a cashel, partially overgrown. The first owner’s escape plan was definitely just running fast. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LiscarrollFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 214 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Liscarroll looks like it's been eaten by grass and time. The bank is barely visible now, just some dark green stuff. You'll have to squint really hard to spot this one!
Standing stone in KnockardbaneStanding stone · 304 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Knockardbane is smooth as a criminal's alibi. It’s been staring at that river for centuries, probably judging its flow. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Fulacht fia in LiscarrollFulacht fia · 421 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulcht fia in Liscarroll is an irregular mound with two openings facing west. It’s sitting in marshy ground between streams. Be careful not to get your boots stuck in the bog while you’re looking at it.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockardbaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 430 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Knockardbane is a ghost. The maps say it was there in 1842, but locals levelled it in the seventies. It’s just a cropmark now, which is basically invisible unless you’re very hungry for history.

Liscarroll CastleCastle · 582 ydExplorer Tom Liscarroll Castle in County Cork was besieged in 1642 and lost parts of its wall to Cromwell, so it has seen some real action. It probably hates the memory of cannonballs but still stands proud. Check the gatehouse.
Liscarroll Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 583 ydExplorer Tom Liscarroll Castle is built by Barrys in the 13th century and looks like it's posing for a photo. The SE tower is missing, but the rest stands tall on limestone. Take a wide shot from the village!
LiscarrollHistoric town · 625 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Liscarroll was a small village that grew up around a medieval castle before becoming a bit of a ghost town. Lewis said it had one hundred and twenty houses in the eighteen hundreds. Now it’s just quiet streets and echoes.
Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 641 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Saint Joseph's ChurchChurch/chapel · 844 ydExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Church is the first thing you see entering Liscarroll, so it really makes an entrance. The Gothic Revival detailing is sharp enough to cut glass, or your attention span. Bring a friend who likes tall buildings.
Altamira HouseGate lodge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Altamira House in Altamira is an elegant gate lodge from around 1810 with a pedimented portico. The Purcell family lived there and named the place after Wellington’s battle. It’s got their coat of arms on it, so it’s all about showing off that military connection.
