Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in SkaghFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 103 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Skagh fort is completely levelled on Mr. Hegarty's land, which means it's officially 'gone but not forgotten.' I reckon it's just a flat circle of dirt pretending to be history. Ask the farmer for permission first!
Fulacht fia in SkaghFulacht fia · 103 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A levelled Skagh fire pit with no exact location, because nobody could be bothered to pin down where the smoke went. Tell it a joke, it’s been a long time since anyone did.
Church (Site of)Church · 444 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in Skagh is overgrown and inaccessible. Bowman said there’s no sign of it left. Just a burial ground with a secret. It’s like the church went on holiday and never came back from the beach.
Man-made underground passage in SkaghMan-made underground passage · 494 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A passage under Skagh that vanished because someone needed bricks for their house. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch while you chew on the mystery.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockastuckaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 506 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Knockastuckane fort has a quarry in the middle! Someone dug right through the centre, leaving only three sides standing. It looks like a broken bowl. The bank is still decent though, so you can see what used to be there.
Fulacht fia in KnockastuckaneFulacht fia · 903 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Knockastuckane is just a burnt circle pretending to be a campfire. The account says it's 10 metres wide, which is about the size of my ego. Find the date carved somewhere and feel like you actually did homework.
Fulacht fia in Cloonbannin WestFulacht fia · 1143 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Clonbannin West has been levelled so smooth it could host a bowling tournament for gnomes. Mrs Riordan probably just flattened it with a tractor out of pure spite. Count the crows, then count again.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KnockacarracooshFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1153 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockacarracoosh is covered in conifers, like it grew its own hair because it was cold up on that hill. It’s got multiple gaps in the bank, so you can walk right through if you’re feeling adventurous. Bring your nan, she’ll know more about where it actually is.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolcloher EastFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1168 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Coolcloher East is levelled flat, which means the fairies got bored and paved it. A fake royal visit happened here in '98 that nobody can prove or disprove. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions on the dirt.
Church of the Presentation of Our LadyChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Church of the Presentation of Our Lady in Dernagree has been standing since 1838 and looks like it’s still trying to impress everyone with its foliate details. The stained glass is probably nicer than your phone screen. Take a peek.
Old School HouseSchool · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Old School House in Dernagree has a cruciform plan, which means it looks like a cross if you squint hard enough. Bring your imagination and a sense of direction, because I forgot to bring the map.
Children's playground1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
