Burial ground in RathculbinBurial ground · 84 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Rathculbin is stuck in a feud with the next village over who left the gate open. The old churchyard claims it’s the real deal, but there’s no walls left to prove it. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Burial in RathculbinBurial · 84 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial in Rathculbin would be the guest at a wedding who sits in the corner, sips tea, and judges everyone’s outfits from 1600. It was granted to a Norman lord who probably didn’t even know what a chapel was. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Castle (in ruins)House, 16th/17th century · 668 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Rathculbin holds the fake world record for having the least amount of castle left standing after a storm. It’s just one gable wall looking very smug at the top of a hill. If it rains, blame me.

Newtown BridgeBridge · 940 ydTowerHouse, fortified house · 1174 yd

Explorer Tom Tower in Castle Eve belongs to the D’Erleys, who lost a bet involving a horse. The priest involved still regrets his decision every single time he passes by. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept, trust me on this one.

Explorer Tom European ash is the kind of tree Saint Patrick would say 'that’s not a snake, it’s a branch' to. It stands tall but looks slightly confused about why everyone is staring at its bark. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
