GallánStanding stone · 60 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Newgrove, County Cork is a two-metre rectangle sitting in a pasture, leaning slightly as if it’s listening to secrets. It wasn’t on maps until later, so maybe it just didn’t want the attention yet. Keep your eyes peeled!
Enclosure in DerryvillaneEnclosure · 192 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom “Enclosure in Derryvillane” is only visible as a cropmark, meaning it’s invisible to you unless the weather cooperates perfectly. It’s basically a ghost that only shows up when the sun hits right. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch; the soil seems hungry for attention.
Burial ground in NewgroveBurial ground · 349 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Newgrove is playing hide-and-seek under an old tree that probably hasn't moved since the Victorians were young. An earl's lawn? More like a giant, overgrown secret garden where nobody knows who's buried where. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Fulacht fia in DerryvillaneFulacht fia · 658 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Derryvillane is hiding under stubble like it’s playing hide-and-seek with farmers. It was nearly sold for a horse once, which says something about its value. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party now.
Enclosure in BallykenlyEnclosure · 857 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Enclosure in Ballykenly, this one 25 meters across. It’s also just a cropmark and sits between two other circular sites. It’s like they’re playing musical chairs with history! Keep your eyes on the ground for subtle lines.
monument889 ydExplorer Tom Ballydeloughy Monument is an obelisk with crossed rifles and 'Éire' carved in stone from 1945. It’s a nationalist flex on a granite plinth. Tell me it doesn’t look like it’s guarding something important, just the road.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DerryvillaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1019 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom “Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derryvillane” is levelled but shows up as three fosses in photos, which is like a triple threat. It’s got parallel lines running out of it, like it’s trying to leave. If it’s closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker; the grass doesn’t bite.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyenahan SouthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1147 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyenahan South is levelled except for a circular concentration of stones. The rest is gone, but the stones are hanging out there like they’re waiting for something. Maybe a wall to finish?
viaduct1267 ydExplorer Tom Viaduct in Ballykenly is made of limestone. Built in 1891 over the River Funshion. It’s got rusticated piers and buttresses. Solid engineering from the railway days. Take a pic if you can get close safely!
Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
