Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallycolmanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 796 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Ballycolman is heavily overgrown and technically inaccessible, which makes me think the goats have been ruling it for centuries without paying rent. I’d give them a medal for persistence. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carriganass (imokilly By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 980 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carriganass is described as 'very poorly preserved,' which is polite code for 'mostly gone.' It's on a slope, so the fairies probably slid off during the last storm. Keep your eyes peeled!

RoisinHouse · 1444 yd

Explorer Tom Roisin in Barnaviddane is a thatched house from 1830 with irregularly spaced windows. It’s long and low, which is exactly how you’d expect a vernacular house to be built.

water pump1475 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Ballinteosig is a cast-iron beauty from a time when water was a communal effort, not an app update. The handle is curved just right, which is suspiciously flattering. Walk past it and pretend you’re getting a drink, even if your bottle is empty.

Explorer Tom Settlement cluster in Barnaviddane is known as Inch, with two thatched structures and a school turned community centre. It was a village on the 1842 map. Give those off-centre doors a wave; they’re still standing despite all the changes.

Inch Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Inch Roman Catholic Church is hiding its stained glass secrets behind those arches. Built around 1870, it’s got a cross finial that probably judges you for walking past. Keep your eyes peeled for something interesting on the roadside.

Explorer Tom Sandyhill Kitchen Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.

Explorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!

Ballintotis Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 8.0 mi

Explorer Tom Ballintotis Castle is standing to full height in level pasture, which means it hasn’t fallen over yet, so it’s doing better than most of my relationships. It’s a small square tower with a pointed arch that’s lost its jambs. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
