Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissindragan has hawthorn trees growing through it like the world's most aggressive hair extensions. It is currently in a furious argument with a field wall about who owns the southeast corner. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

MoteBarrow, ring-barrow · 527 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mote in Aggard Beg sits on an esker ridge like a giant's discarded hat. The ring-barrow is partially gone, probably lost in a bet. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

CaveMan-made underground passage · 562 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cave in Aggard Beg is basically a hole where someone dropped their keys and never bothered looking. It sits in the corner of a rath like a guilty secret you can't quite remember digging. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show only ghosts really appreciate.

IndicatedWell · 655 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Well in Lissindragan makes a spooky humming sound at night that sounds like a dying cat. It’s probably just the wind, but let's keep the mystery alive for fun. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the ghosts.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ManninFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 723 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mannin is a poorly preserved circle with field walls cutting through it like bad news. It’s sitting right next to a church and graveyard, which is awkward. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

EnclosureEnclosure, large enclosure · 802 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Manninard is a huge trapezoidal beast with an internal bank that might be associated with something cool. It’s got a field boundary cutting through it like a lazy line. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Mound in Aggard BegMound · 896 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mound in Aggard Beg vanished so fast you'd think it ate something bad at lunch. Quarrying took its best bits and left nothing but a memory hole. Count the crows, then count again.

Ring-ditch in ManninRing-ditch · 952 ydComputer-made picture

Man-made underground passage in ManninMan-made underground passage · 1039 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This other Man-made underground passage in Mannin is also invisible, which means it’s winning the lottery of being forgotten by everyone else. If it won a lotto, I bet it’d buy a bigger hole to sit in and ignore all the noise above ground. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

bridge1588 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Ballylin West looks like it’s doing a flex, all that heavy rustication just to show off its engineering muscles. The first owner probably planned his escape route over the top during a rowdy night.

Aggard HouseCountry house · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Aggard House in Aggard More is all fancy limestone steps and suspiciously tall finials, probably to keep nosey neighbours at a distance. It’s basically a giant stone shrug saying 'what do you want?' Pack a picnic and a

Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ardrahan North, County Galway is probably where the rabbits hold their council meetings every Tuesday night. They look very serious when they discuss the grass situation out there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
