Headstone in Taur MoreHeadstone · 43 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Headstone in Taur More has no details uploaded yet, so we don't know who it belongs to or what it says. It’s just a stone with potential. If you see it, give it a respectful nod and maybe whisper a guess about its owner.

Fulacht fia in Taur MoreFulacht fia · 284 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Taur More: Recorded by Bowman in 1934, but nobody knows exactly where it is anymore. It’s the ghost that haunts M. O'Sullivan's land without even showing its face. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Carn (Remains of)Cairn, unclassified · 365 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Carn (Remains of) in Taur More is basically a rock pile with a modern hat on top. Treasure hunters stripped it bare centuries ago, so don't expect to find gold, just my disappointment and some trig points.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Taur MoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 427 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Taur More has a well next door, which is either convenient or a massive liability for the fairies. It’s mostly levelled out, so just imagine a circle where the ground got lazy and stopped rising up. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything.

Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 1015 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial Ground (Disused) in Taur More is where the locals claim they dumped all their dead after a massive battle. I bet they just wanted to clear out the living first, though. Mind your step on that slope!

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!

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Glennamucklagh East is planted with sycamore trees and field clearance material dumped around it like a bad garden design. The map makers called it square, but locals say it’s a fort, which is more fun. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Standing stone in InchantotaneStanding stone · 1.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Inchantotane was recorded by Bowman back in 1934 but the exact location is now unknown. It’s a proper mystery box on John Shine’s land. You’re basically hunting for a needle in a haystack, mate.

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!
