IndicatedEnclosure · 282 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Dromkeare site has been hiding a scandal for centuries because it’s currently occupied by a modern bungalow. The oval shape is gone, replaced by a very ordinary garden gnome. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LislonaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 460 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lislonane sits right on the river’s edge, where a poet once fell in the ditch and missed his verse deadline. The bank is steep enough to keep the cows out, which is basically a miracle here. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Monumental PillarCross-slab · 491 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Monumental Pillar in Dromkeare wants its New Year's resolution to be 'stop leaning against the wall' but keeps doing it anyway. It’s got a name carved on it that sounds like someone sneezed, which is just perfect for a stone. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Iveragh LodgeHunting/fishing lodge · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Iveragh Lodge was built for hunting, but I bet the builder was just trying to impress his in-laws. It looks like an L-shaped apology for taking up space on a hill. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

The Cable StationCoastguard station · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Another Cable Station, this time in Spunkane, had a fiddler play all night to keep the ghosts away. It’s been a coastguard station too, so it knows how to spot trouble coming from far off. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
