Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigduff (barretts By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 997 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigduff is levelled and gone, which is perfect for the fairies who hate being found. The 1842 map remembers it, but the ground has forgotten all about its existence.

Burnt spread in Dromore NorthBurnt spread · 1023 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burnt spread in Dromore North consists of two oval spreads of dark brown soil sitting close together. After a few pints, it would tell you it’s actually a giant sleeping face covered in mud. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Clyda Bridge (Upper)Bridge · 1537 yd

Explorer Tom Clyda Bridge (Upper) has round arches and a bend in the road that make it look like it’s dancing. The dressed voussoirs contrast with the rubble stone walls in a way that’s just plain fancy. Tell the tree it’s not jealous!

Explorer Tom Carrokeal House in Carhookeal is a big, symmetrical mansion from around eighteen-ten that looks down on the new housing estates. It’s got wide chimneys and a central door that demands respect. Try not to get bowled over by its impressive scale!

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in County Cork is just the remains of a twelfth-century fortress. It's been standing around for ages, waiting for someone to notice. Take a pic for me if you spot any old stones!

Castle Barrett (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Barrett in Castlebarrett is just fragments of walls and a collapsed tower now. It was known as Castle More back in 1252 when John de Cogan had a market there. I wonder if anyone sells pies here anymore!
