Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MarshalstownFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 286 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Marshalstown, County Cork is known locally as 'lios field' even though it's completely levelled. No visible surface trace at all! The locals are holding on to the name out of pure stubbornness.
Enclosure in MarshalstownEnclosure · 319 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Marshalstown would win a county fair for Best In Show if they let invisible things compete. It’s been levelled so much you’d need a microscope and a strong coffee to spot it. Hum something sad nearby, because the wind is already doing enough damage to your mood.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CurraghgormFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 408 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraghgorm is on a natural rise with an interior that's slightly raised and heavily overgrown. It’s got a small moat, so I'm guessing the fairies just let the weeds take over because they were too busy napping.
Marshalstown ChurchChurch/chapel · 850 ydExplorer Tom Marshalstown Church in County Cork is roofless and playing dead with the birds, but the graveyard looks well-kept enough to set a table on. Wave to the ruins; they’re too proud to say hello back today, I bet.
Church in MarshalstownChurch · 860 ydExplorer Tom Church in Marshalstown would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'before smartphones but after bad haircuts.' It’s a former parish church with a tall tower that seems to be shouting for attention. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up, trust me on this one.
Grave YardGraveyard · 866 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Marshalstown has two church ruins, one older than the other. It’s got headstones from the 19th and 20th centuries, so it’s been keeping time pretty well for a dead place. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Marshalstown BridgeBridge · 1041 ydExplorer Tom Marshalstown Bridge is arching over the Funshion River with four stone arms. Built c.1780, it’s got tooled limestone voussoirs and stepped cutwaters. It’s a testament to local masonry skills, so give it a nod as you pass!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghleafin (condons and Clongibbon By., Kilgullane Par.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1339 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Cloghleafin was levelled in 1989, so it’s basically gone now. It used to be a deep-fossed circle associated with St Molaga and chieftain Cuana. Just a memory on the maps now, sadly.
CarrighenryMountain / peak · 2.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carrighenry has caught my eye in County Limerick. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety has caught my eye in County Limerick. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
Glanworth CastleCastle · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
