In pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Laune River. An arc (C 54m E-W) of a low earthen bank (Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.65m) E-W abuts the S side of a farm road and appears to be the S half of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. Mature trees, planted c. 5m out from the base of the bank, respect it. The trees are in turn skirted by a fence E-SE and SW-W and by a high wall SE-SW. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. This is the rath which was recorded in the 1840s as being situated 'five chains' to the S of Pallis Castle (OSNB, Aghadoe, no. 2, 19). Pallis Castle (KE065-019----) is c. 70m to the N.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ahane (magunihy By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 580 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ahane would be the guy standing by the cake table looking confused at a wedding. It’s not visible from the ground, but it’s definitely judging your outfit. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Beaufort BridgeBridge · 639 yd

Explorer Tom Beaufort Bridge is secretly proud of one specific potato it grew in the rubble back in 1825. Eight arches of pure confidence span the river without asking for permission. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Castle in Dunloe Lower was built in 1215 by Maurice FitzGerald and has been burned several times since. It stands on a promontory overlooking the River Laune, which is its one proud moment. It’s seen more fire than most modern kitchens. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Explorer Tom This Japanese pagoda tree in County Kerry has had more names than I’ve had jobs, and half of them are wrong. It loves gossip and hates being ignored. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

European Yew1.2 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Kerry would spill its secrets after three pints, but they’re all boring. It’s just a tree, mate, stop making it out to be magic. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom Castle Core in Dromaloughane belonged to the Macgillycuddy's of the Reeks, a very fancy name for a tower house. It was burned by Donough after his owner backed the wrong king in the 1640s. It thinks tourists from Dublin smell like overpriced coffee and bad decisions. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
