BarrowBarrow, ring-barrow · 209 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Mountrivers is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
GallánStanding stone · 402 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Mountrivers has inspired a bad poem about its rectangular shape that rhymes 'rock' with 'clock'. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, even if it's lying down.
Man-made underground passage701 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Knockrour is closed up tight in the NW quadrant of a ringfort. Hartnett noted it was infilled, but the entrance is still visible if you know where to look. It’s like a door with no key!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockrourFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 706 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockrour would introduce itself as 'just a dirt pile, thanks.' It has a secret passage that leads nowhere, which is very on-brand. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part right there.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 719 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This erased ringfort in Knockrour is just traces now. Hartnett saw it in 1939, but it’s mostly gone. There’s still talk of an underground passage. Check under the soil and tell me what you find!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in RylaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 852 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rylane has a low bank that's barely half a meter high. A field boundary cuts right through the middle of it. Check the fence line carefully before stepping over!
St Eolan's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1093 ydExplorer Tom St Eolan's Roman Catholic Church in Rylane, County Cork broke the mold after Vatican II with its light design. I bet it smells like expensive incense and secret gossip. Hear the echo of my name inside for me!
Ecclesiastical enclosure in Knockrour,oughtiheryEcclesiastical enclosure · 1153 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Knockrour, Oughtihery has an entrance feature with two parallel upright stones. One might have an ogham inscription, so bring your magnifying glass if you’re feeling scholarly. Most of the rampart was removed by a landowner who clearly hated archaeology. Typical!
Ogham stone in KnockrourOgham stone · 1185 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ogham stone in Knockrour is currently chilling in Oxford, while locals here argue about who really found it first. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 1190 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Mountrivers is barely a whisper on the land, just a faint burnt hint by the stream. I bet it’s hiding from the rain and bad decisions. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
farm house2.5 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Glenaglogh North is standing perpendicular to the road like it’s judging your driving. The chimney stack is substantial enough to smoke out a dragon, and the facade is curiously formal for a place that smells of sheep. Ideal spot for a nap.
Ballinagree playgroundChildren's playground · 4.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballinagree playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
