Folacht FiadhFulacht fia · 539 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Folacht Fiadh in Pollardstown hears everything through its walls, which are mostly just dirt pretending to be structure. It’s a big burnt patch that thinks it’s a secret society HQ. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the mud.

Burnt mound in KillakaneBurnt mound · 792 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Killakane is a big pile of heat-shattered stones hidden under ferns and briars. There’s even a hawthorn tree growing on top, which is very ironic for something burnt. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans for the rest of the day.

Fulacht fia in KillakaneFulacht fia · 936 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Killakane was spotted in a meadow back in 2002, but by 2004 it had vanished into the marshy north. Forestry planting is the greatest cover-up artist I’ve ever met in my whole life.

Moated site in Ballynamona (condons and Clongibbon By., Brigown Par.)Moated site · 1754 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Moated site in Ballynamona has reeds growing in its ditch, which is very on-brand for a swampy castle. The banks are low, so don’t expect to see anything grand. It’s more of a wet, muddy vibe out there.

Glenatlucky MountainMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Glenatlucky Mountain has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.

Catholic Church of the Holy FamilyChurch/chapel · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Holy Family in Ballygiblin is showing off that Gothic belfry like it invented the silhouette game. It’s mid-nineteenth-century fancy-pants architecture pretending to be a castle, but we all know it’s just doing its best impression. Bring your own imagination, because the stones aren’t talking for you!

workhouse2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Workhouse in Kilshanny is actually the walls of Mitchelstown Workhouse from 1851, standing strong with its tooled stone copings and pedimented entrance. The plaque over the door tells a story that’s far more interesting than the architecture.

Children's playground2.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's 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.

John MandevilleMemorial · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom John Mandeville has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.

Explorer Tom Castle Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.

Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 5.8 mi

Explorer 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.
