Phale CourtCountry house · 513 yd

Explorer Tom Phale Court in Phale Lower is hoarding medieval fragments like old receipts from a lost castle. It burned down once but kept its eighteenth-century cool. Check if the dormer attic is actually hiding anything!

farmyard complex713 yd

Explorer Tom Farmyard complex in Phale Lower is sprawling around since 1880 with a farmhouse that looks like it’s seen better days. The outbuildings are huge for a farm, which suggests they were either very productive or just really into storage back then.

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 1.2 mi

Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga (carbery East (eastern Div.) By.)Sheela-na-gig · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga is perched above a castle entrance, staring down with big ears and splayed legs. She looks very judgmental about your walking pace, so hurry up!

Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.

Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
