Explorer Tom Enclosure in Taur More is mostly trees now, so it’s playing hide-and-seek with the birds. It used to be a penannular thing, but now it’s just a forest clearing waiting for a fox to take charge of the situation. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Church of the Holy SpiritChurch/chapel · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Holy Spirit in Glennamucklagh East is keeping things simple with roughcast and smooth render that adds texture to Taur’s social scene. That Art Deco bell tower is geometric perfection, so don't stand too close or you might get dizzy. Linger a bit!

Fulacht fia in Glennamucklagh EastFulacht fia · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Fulcht fia in Glennamucklagh East was levelled in 1984. It’s now a low mound, barely twenty-five centimetres high. The opening faces North, so if you squint, maybe you can imagine the steam rising from the ancient feast.

Clashykinleen BridgeBridge · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Clashykinleen Bridge in Blueford is humping over River Owenkeal with a serious attitude. Built around 1820, it’s got tool-stone arches that look like they’re showing off their muscles. Wave to the river if you see it!

Explorer Tom Castle McAuliffe in Castlemacauliffe, County Cork is heavily overgrown and sitting on a steep scarp overlooking the Dalua River. It’s just traces of an earth bank and a rubble mound now. Try to find it without getting your boots muddy for me!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Demesne, County Cork was called 'Caislean an Cnuic' and is now just part of a demesne with no trace. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing their lunch despite having zero manners whatsoever.
