Fulacht fia in MahallaghFulacht fia · 257 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Mahallagh is a low mound by a stream, barely sticking up from the grass. It’s small enough to be a very lazy hill. The dog that owns this land probably uses it as a bathroom. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard between the cattle.
Holy Well (Site of)Holy well · 573 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy Well in Mahallagh isn’t even shown on the old maps, but people used to perform 'rounds' here near a standing stone that stood 70 meters away. It’s like a well that was too shy to be drawn properly. Look for any faint traces by that stream area!
GallánStanding stone · 615 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Mahallagh was shown on maps in 1938 but has been removed, possibly due to field fence clearance. It’s gone now, leaving only the memory of where it once stood proud among the pastures and fences.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 763 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Mahallagh is a kidney-shaped mound of burnt material, which sounds like something you’d find in a diagram. It’s got an opening facing NNW, so it’s very directional and opinionated. Locals swear if you touch it, your car won’t start for a week. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
BullánCupmarked stone · 890 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullán in Mahallagh is an irregular stone with small depressions that might be natural or cupmarks. It also has dynamite holes, so it’s seen some action over the years while pretending to be a mysterious ancient relic.
Carhoo HouseCountry house · 1552 ydExplorer Tom Carhoo House in Carhoo Lower is strutting its stuff. From 1750, it’s got a pedimented breakfront and windows that shrink as you go up. Very mathematical. I bet the ghosts are still calculating their angles in there.
NettlevilleCountry house · 1730 ydExplorer Tom Nettleville is a ruined 18th-century house that’s been through more than your last relationship. The roof collapsed, but the spirit of the place remains stubbornly upright. Bring your own legend, I've run out of them after the Nettles family drama.
Carrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!

Pedunculate Oak2.7 miExplorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.
Castlemore CastleCastle · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Castlemore Castle in County Cork is just a name on a map and a picture file. No details, no drama. Be cheeky and take a photo for me if you can find anything more than the words 'Castle More' in your head.
