The CottageHouse · 1212 yd

Explorer Tom The Cottage in Keekill has strict rules: no shoes, no noise, and absolutely no asking about the thatch. It’s a rare survivor of the traditional scene, keeping its low chimney stack proud. Find the date carved somewhere and guess who lived there.

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.

Explorer Tom Headford Castle has been hiding its identity since 1245, playing dress-up as 'Aghkyne' for centuries. It might be one castle, it might be two, I don’t care. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did because there aren’t enough of them to matter.

Ross Errilly FriaryHeritage attraction · 4.0 miGrave YardGraveyard · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Donaghpatrick has no official description yet, which is suspicious. Joke about the shortcut that isn't a shortcut leading to a bog. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Court tomb in CarrownakibCourt tomb · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Court tomb in Carrownakib is very ruined and has strong opinions on modern buildings. It’s just stones near Lough Corrib now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a fancy oil painting.
