CaherbughyEnclosure · 199 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Caherbughy has a rectangular structure inside, which looks like a shed that got lost in the middle of nowhere. The field wall is doing all the heavy lifting here. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Fairy fort / ringfort in KilgarriffFairy fort / ringfort · 623 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Kilgarriff has no description, so it’s basically a mystery box. I bet it refuses to fall down just to spite the archaeologists. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place and its empty files.

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Kilgarriff is playing hide-and-seek with me, but the fox who lived there long ago got bored and moved out. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Hut site in KeernaunHut site · 916 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Hut site in Keernaun is a circular hut on a collapsed wall line. The priest who lost a bet there still owes me money. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Man-made underground passage in KilgarriffMan-made underground passage · 956 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another man-made underground passage in Kilgarriff that claims to be mysterious just because nobody has checked the paperwork yet. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

CaherananeFairy fort / ringfort · 957 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Caheranane has a 'cave' that might just be a hole in the ground. It’s covered in rubble, looking like it lost a fight with a lawnmower. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life of being ignored.

Explorer Tom Kilroe Mills in Inish looks too fancy for a miller's house, like it went to finishing school. Locals swear if you whistle at it, the flour never settles properly. Whisper a secret at it, it probably already knows about your bad hair day.

Cloghanower Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Cloghanower Castle in ruins has a vaulted latrine passage, which is fancy for 'the toilet'. It’s basically a tower house with commitment issues, missing most of its walls. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse than your New Year's resolutions ever were.

Annaghdown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Annaghdown Castle in County Galway was probably built to suppress a bishopric, which is a fancy way of saying someone got annoyed at another church. It's on the shore of Lough Corrib. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
