Fairy fort / ringfort in MounthazelFairy fort / ringfort · 615 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Mounthazel claims there's a shortcut through here, but it's just a muddy bog hole. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable, so you can get lost on purpose.
Enclosure in Killamude WestEnclosure · 845 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killamude West is having a very strong opinion about nothing. I bet the wind keeps picking on it just to get a rise out of the grass. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry fees.
IndicatedFairy fort / ringfort · 1100 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or ringfort in Killamude East is doing its best impression of a puddle. A local legend says the fairies moved out because the Wi-Fi was too slow. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Anomalous stone group in Killamude EastAnomalous stone group · 1124 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Killamude East is just rocks having a quiet argument about nothing, probably judging your life choices from the grass. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

It probably posts selfies from the dark every night. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about you.
Hampstead HouseCountry house · 1508 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House has a ridiculous smuggling story about cheese being hidden in the walls by a nervous farmer. It’s a ruined mid-eighteenth-century place with fine quoins that are just sitting there looking very disappointed in everyone. Go now, before it gets famous.
Hampstead HouseHouse · 1510 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House in Galway is a ruin with a bow-fronted face, looking very dignified despite the mess. The dog living there has appointed himself the new owner of the estate. Spot the oldest stone and

Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
