Fairy fort / stone ringfort in MadaraFairy fort / stone ringfort · 276 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Madara was tried to be bought by a very confident cow. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
milestone/milepost343 ydExplorer Tom Milestone in Quinville South was paid for by John Singleton, who clearly wanted his name etched into history forever. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 394 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Rinneen is keeping its mouth shut, probably saving stories for later. It would tell you everything after a few pints. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rinneen (bunratty Upper By.)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 404 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Rinneen is having an identity crisis. I bet the fairies moved out because they couldn't get Wi-Fi. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Saint Fineen's ChurchChurch/chapel · 467 ydExplorer Tom Saint Fineen's Church in Quingardens is playing hard to get, ruined since 1878 after Thomas de Clare got grumpy. It’s just a lonely tower now, probably ignoring me on purpose. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
IndicatedGraveyard · 474 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Quingardens sits next to St Finghin’s church, built by Thomas de Clare. The ground level is higher inside than out, which is weird. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Quin BridgeBridge · 536 ydExplorer Tom Quin Bridge is a triple-arch beast from 1800 with steps leading down to the river, which is basically a dare in stone form. It looks sturdy enough to survive a zombie horde, or at least make them trip on the steps. Dare you to say hello to it out loud; it might yawn.
Quin AbbeyHeritage attraction · 569 ydExplorer Tom Quin Abbey is a medieval wonder in County Clare, where time has worn the stones but not the stories within its walls.

Danganbrack Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1415 ydExplorer Tom Danganbrack Castle is covered in ivy like it's trying to cosplay as a garden gnomes' clubhouse. There's definitely a dog in charge of the front gate. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Ballymarkahan Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ballymarkahan Castle in County Clare is playing hard to get, which is typical for a tower house with no public access. I reckon it's hiding in the hedgerows, laughing at my boots. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Hawthorn3.1 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.
