In rough hill pasture, on the lower S-facing slopes of Tooth Mountain. Collapsed stone walls (T c. 0.6m; H 0.65m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog in a roughly rectangular area (c. 160m E-W; c. 90m N-S) and indicate a network of relict field walls. Gaps of varying lengths occur throughout the network. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered downslope. A cashel (KE111-001002-) is located within the network and a further series of relict field boundaries (KE111-001001-) lies in the immediate vicinity to the E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

Explorer Tom Cairn in Deelis gave up its stones for Lent, leaving just an oval outline in the rough pasture. It sits right next to a hut site, like they’re having a quiet chat by the river. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Deelis smells like wet wool and ancient secrets, according to my very reliable nose. It’s basically a stone box that forgot to close properly. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Explorer Tom Charcoal-making site in Deelis is where the Vikings got lost because they couldn't find the charcoal, only the marshy bits. It’s basically a circle of dirt with attitude. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Lauragh National School thinks tourists from Dublin are just children with better shoes and worse manners. It’s been teaching them since 1862 and they haven't improved one bit. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
