Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in RosslagueFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 195 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Rosslague had a love story with a plough that went badly wrong. It used to be a circle but now it’s just a suggestion of one on the ridge. Bring biscuits, because every good story needs biscuits, and this one is mostly crumbs and speculation about what happened here.

Burnt mound in RosslagueBurnt mound · 459 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Rosslague was seen in 1997 but vanished by 2004. It's just heat-shattered stones and charcoal soil now. The marsh took it! Imagine cooking ancient stew and then losing all your pots and pans.

Fulacht fia in RosslagueFulacht fia · 502 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Rosslague is just local rumour, with no exact location known. It’s like a ghost story you hear at the pub: everyone says it’s there, but nobody has actually seen the burnt stones.

Burnt mound in BallyduleaBurnt mound · 737 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Ballydulea sits in the mud looking like it just got splashed by a very angry toddler. It’s all heat-shattered stones and charcoal soil, basically an ancient barbecue pit that nobody cleaned up. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

AvonmoreFarm house · 816 yd

Explorer Tom Avonmore in Ballydaniel Beg is a farmhouse that keeps growing like a vine. It started in 1800 and added bits in 1870 just to show off. The render work is fancy for a farm, which is weird but impressive. Take a pic of the Victorian doorcase; it’s trying to look like a mansion.

Ballydulea HouseCountry house · 891 yd

Explorer Tom Ballydulea House is a country house from 1810 with a single-storey front that hides a huge three-storey back. It’s like wearing a tiny hat on a giant head. The rear has a notable doorcase, but you’d have to be behind it to see the drama.
